Development of high-load applications

The main advantages lie in their ability to simultaneously support the execution of work with large amounts of data, complex calculations, and a large number of queries and operations. AVADA-MEDIA offers services for the development of high-load applications.

We design and manufacture reliable, efficient and scalable software. First of all, high-load applications are associated with such giants as Google, Facebook and Amazon. But in the modern world, highload applications are a must for any successful and growing business.

Modern Internet users are not ready to wait long and in case of downtime or failure, they will soon leave the application. In such situations, large online services acquire a negative reputation, and can also lose tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Developing high-load applications will prevent such problems:

• long connection time or loss of connection to web servers;
• slow response to user actions;
• data loss;
• critical crashes in the application.

Highly loaded applications not only work with a large number of users, but also actively increase their audience. If you expect the number of users to grow to hundreds of thousands or millions, a highload system will allow you to be ready for this. The main advantage of this technology is high scalability. In other words, such applications successfully cope with current loads and are easily modified if they increase.

An application always undergoes load tests before release. Thus, the client knows what loads the system can withstand and in which case it will need to be scaled. Failure and recovery testing will test the application’s ability to successfully resume operation in the shortest possible time in the event of possible software errors, hardware failure, or communication problems.

• Careful planning

We always start with a detailed study of the business requirements. Before starting work, it is important for us to understand what is most important for the client. And we direct most of our resources and efforts to precisely this. As a result, we are working on really important tasks. This is how we help our clients to prioritize in order to get the most useful product and save money.

• High-load application architecture development

Our experts analyze the requirements and think over the architecture of the future application. Architecture is the backbone of the system on which the success and viability of a project depends.

At the same time, the growth in the number of users for the coming years must be taken into account. Building an application from scratch that can handle a workload of millions of people is not feasible in terms of financial resources. For such projects, we recommend using the cloud to reduce the cost of server services, as well as facilitate administration.

Many hosting services offer private network services, which allows developers to securely use multiple servers in the cloud and easily scale the application. To do this, specialists analyze the most loaded or vulnerable areas of the program and transfer it to separate nodes to control traffic.

• Application flexibility

Flexibility is one of the most important qualities of high-load software. Today’s high workload is a whole engineering science, in which it all starts with measuring the performance of the current system and reconciling it with business expectations for these indicators.

Also, applications are tested at all stages of development in order to identify problems in functionality and solve them in advance. The flexible architecture makes it as easy and fast as possible to make changes to the project, and in the future facilitates product support.

• Distributed system

If an application needs to handle a large number of users and volumes of data that are also constantly growing, one server is not enough. The largest high-load applications run on hundreds of servers.

In practice, it is impossible to completely avoid crashes in the server-side of the application. When one of the components of the system fails or cannot process requests, the server becomes overloaded.

Load balancing is the solution. This is the distribution of the workload across multiple servers or nodes in the cloud. An incoming user request can be received from an overloaded server and sent to the one with more free resources to process it. We use special technologies for load balancing.

• Reliability and safety

Users expect from the application not only high speed of work, but also the safety of personal data. This is especially important for applications that have access to information about the user’s bank cards and electronic wallets. We pay special attention to reliability in order to maximally protect personal information from third parties.
