Project Overview
This project focuses on modernizing the Summer Research Internship Program (SRIP) portal at IITGN using serverless and event-driven architecture. By implementing Knative services, we’ve created a more resilient and scalable system that can handle varying workloads efficiently.
Key Features
- Auto-scaling capabilities
- Dynamic resource allocation
- Cost-efficient operation
- Automated traffic routing
- Enhanced platform reliability
- Secure infrastructure design
Problem Statement
The previous SRIP portal faced significant challenges during peak usage:
2023 Case Study
- System Outage
- Three-day downtime due to overwhelming traffic
- Hundreds of internship applications affected
- Technical Issues
- Critical application data loss
- Infrastructure unable to scale with demand
- Business Impact
- Extended application deadlines
- Compromised system reliability
- Negative impact on IITGN’s technical reputation
Solution
Our serverless implementation addresses these challenges by:
- Implementing automatic scaling based on demand
- Ensuring efficient resource utilization
- Providing robust data handling
- Maintaining high availability during peak loads
- Reducing operational costs through optimized resource allocation
