01The Architecture Challenge

Serverless Lambda functions were failing with timeout and memory errors when processing massive 15GB+ geospatial datasets.

Key Technical Pain Points Addressed:

  • High operational risk of service disruption during production cutover.
  • Over-provisioned compute resources driving unnecessary cloud expenditure.
  • Lack of declarative configuration management and GitOps workflows.

02The Implemented Engineering Solution

Redesigned architecture into an event-driven model where Lambda extracts lightweight metadata, computes requirements, and queues work via SQS to ECS worker tasks.

Lambda execution reduced from minutes to sub-second responses
Flawless processing for files exceeding 15GB
Elastic task autoscaling based on queue depth
Zero dropped or timed-out processing requests
