Red Tail Fox Pvt Ltd is an innovative organization that creates entertainment hubs for diverse audiences. Its flagship platform, Ramailo Games, allows players to register, enjoy various mini-games, and win rewards.
As the platform’s popularity soared, so did the challenges for Red Tail Fox to keep up with growing traffic and ensure a seamless experience. They aimed to scale their infrastructure to accommodate a growing user base while improving platform performance.
To tackle these challenges head-on, Red Tail Fox partnered with TekBay, a leading cloud and DevOps solutions provider, to deliver a robust, scalable, and efficient solution through AWS.
Key Challenges: Scalability, Deployment, and Performance Bottlenecks
Despite the success of Ramailo Games, Red Tail Fox faced significant operational and technical challenges that hindered growth:
- Scalability Problem: Rising peak-hour traffic overwhelmed the system, resulting in slow load times and a subpar user experience.
- Manual Deployments: A lack of deployment automation extended release cycles and increased the likelihood of human errors, delaying updates and bug fixes.
- Lack of Monitoring: The team struggled to track user activity and system performance without proper monitoring tools, making it challenging to identify and resolve issues proactively.
- Slower Loading Speed: Users from various regions reported delays when loading games, affecting user satisfaction.
These issues highlighted the need for a comprehensive solution to ensure scalability, efficiency, and enhanced user experience.
