A Singapore-based NFT platform

A Singapore-based NFT platform

Overview

Catching the wave of Blockchain and NFT, our client has requested a dedicated team from OpsSpark to help them deploy the whole system with dynamic scaling and security guarantees. The system consists of a Landing & Dashboard page, a Unity Game platform, Back-end, and Blockchain components.

Challenges

  • All provisions and deployments have to be done as fast as possible to adapt to changes
  • The whole system is designed to dynamically adapt from hundreds to thousands of concurrent users
  • The NFT game platform is able to handle up to thousands of concurrent players
  • Site performances have been optimized and cached so that users are happy with the loading time
  • It’s very challenging to set up, maintain and monitor Blockchain on-chain services, to keep them updated to the network
  • The internal components are accessed by limited IP addresses in an encrypted tunnel
  • The system is able to detect fraud access and limit illegal incoming connections, in order to avoid DDOS attacks

Solution

  • System stack of GCP Firebase, GCP LoadBalancer & Instance group, GCP Amor, StackDriver, GCP Storage, etc are deployed
  • Instant group for backend is dynamically scaled based on in-coming traffic
  • Firebase configurations are optimized in caching and compression
  • CDN strategy for caching and optimizing static and dynamic contents is built
  • Backup & restore database strategy is delivered
  • Firewalls are provisioned and managed by Terraform
  • Secret Manager is advised to be used to store confidential data
  • To ensure sure no Blockchain components downtime, monitoring scripts are established and DPR for all on-chain services are implemented

Achievement

  • The system is in good shape and can handle a dynamic incoming amount of users
  • The game platform can now handle thousands of concurrent users without lag
  • The website wins an A for GTMetrix Grade and LCP (largest content element) is less than two seconds
  • Deployment time is kept under three minutes without downtime
  • The Recovery Time Objective duration is under 15 minutes, with 24/7 online support for the OpsSpark team
  • Abnormal and fraud access can be traced in Stackdriver logs
