About AltScan
AltScan is the data platform for advanced token analytics. This platform empowers users to navigate on-chain token markets and identify scam tokens that are launched every day on public blockchains.
AltScan developed sophisticated data pipelines and advanced token scam detection models, along with a data-driven token scoring system, all packaged into a publicly available platform for anyone to use.
Customer Challenge
AltScan faced the intricate challenge of managing a diverse ecosystem of high-performance services catering to multiple fast-paced blockchains like Solana. Their platform required robust support for intensive background processing and efficient blockchain node deployment, all while maintaining system reliability and scalability. Additionally, AltScan needed a streamlined approach to deliver continuous updates and enhancements seamlessly to its users, ensuring a frictionless experience even as the platform evolved. These complexities demanded a DevOps and cloud operations strategy capable of handling rapid transaction throughput, high availability, and dynamic scaling without compromising security or user satisfaction.
Solution
To address AltScan's challenges, White Stork implemented a comprehensive DevOps and cloud operations solution leveraging AWS services to ensure scalability, reliability, and performance. AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) was deployed to manage containerized applications, enabling efficient orchestration of high-performance services across multiple blockchains like Solana and Ethereum. Load balancing was optimized using AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) to distribute traffic seamlessly and ensure high availability even during traffic surges.
For data storage and management, we utilized Amazon RDS Aurora to provide a highly available, scalable, and secure database solution, meeting the demands of intensive background processing and complex token analytics. To further enhance performance and reduce latency, we integrated Amazon ElastiCache for caching frequently accessed data, ensuring rapid response times for end-users.
Additionally, a robust CI/CD pipeline was designed to streamline continuous delivery and updates, reducing downtime and maintaining a frictionless user experience. Advanced monitoring and alerting were implemented using AWS CloudWatch, enabling proactive identification and resolution of performance bottlenecks or potential issues. Security was fortified with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and automated scaling features to maintain optimal resource allocation while adhering to industry best practices.
By combining these AWS services with White Stork's expertise in cloud infrastructure, we delivered a resilient and scalable platform capable of supporting AltScan’s rapid growth and operational demands in a dynamic blockchain environment.
Results and Benefits
With White Stork’s tailored solutions, AltScan successfully deployed its platform to production without any downtime, ensuring a seamless experience for end-users. The automated blockchain node deployment and robust CI/CD pipelines allowed AltScan to handle high transaction volumes and deliver continuous updates efficiently. As a result, the platform scaled effortlessly to accommodate a surge in users and traffic while maintaining peak performance and security. This collaboration not only empowered AltScan to meet its operational goals but also positioned the company for sustained growth and innovation in the competitive blockchain ecosystem.
