Solution
Halosis deployed a social commerce IaaS platform in six weeks enabling Indonesian SMEs to connect with customers digitally during the COVID-19 pandemic. The architecture ingests customer traffic from web and mobile applications, distributes load through Server Load Balancers across Elastic Compute Service instances, securely transmits data via VPN Gateway, and persists product and transaction data in Object Storage Service. Cloud Enterprise Network optimizes data transmission latency for Indonesian users, while the platform provides compliance with local regulations. The IaaS-first approach freed internal engineering teams from infrastructure management to focus on social commerce features and user experience innovation.
Data flow
Merchant and customer traffic → load balancer → ECS compute layer → OSS storage → network optimization → Indonesian user delivery
