Introduction

Architectures that aren’t built to scale will always reach a limit. As usage grows, what once worked reliably starts to break, latency increases, services time out, and maintaining uptime becomes difficult.

This breakdown is common in systems designed around fixed compute or rigid infrastructure. Workloads, especially those supporting real-time user engagement, require an approach that adjusts with demand.

For platforms growing faster than their infrastructure can handle, scalability is essential and should be integrated into the architecture from the beginning.

Client Overview

Ebike Africa provides luxury and leisure electric bikes for organizations and individuals, with a smart battery management system designed to prevent overheating and fire.

With a digital-first approach, the Ebikes connect users to services like ride tracking, customer support, and product updates, all through its web and mobile applications.

Quote from E-bikes:

CloudPlexo has been a huge support when it comes to developing and scaling the technology arm of our business, we got credits from CloudPlexo and AWS which has really helped us validate the product, also the speed at which they are able to help us has been really helpful.

Jorgs Mbugua, CEO/Co-founer Ebikes Africa

The Challenge

Initially on Google Cloud, the platform served its early users well. But as demand increased, performance became an issue; slower responses, limited elasticity, and higher infrastructure costs. The team knew they needed more than just quick fixes. They needed a setup that could scale with them.

CloudPlexo, an AWS advanced partner, identified the core issue, which was scalability.

The tightly coupled architecture on Google Cloud was unable to scale with demand. Performance was unpredictable and maintenance started getting in the way of progress.

The Solution

Cloudplexo redesigned Ebikes architecture using AWS Lambda, a serverless compute service that automatically scales based on demand.

We helped them:

To support the transition and reduce the financial burden, Cloudplexo also provided AWS credits, giving the team room to build, test, and optimize without worrying about upfront costs.

The Result

The platform can now grow and adapt with user demand. After the migration:

Conclusion

Scalability isn’t just about handling more traffic, it’s also about staying reliable and efficient while you grow.

With Cloudplexo’s help, the Ebikes platform moved from a rigid setup to a serverless architecture that delivers performance without stress.

The combination of smart engineering and AWS credits made it possible to scale with confidence and build with pride. Need a seamless solution like this? Contact us at www.cloudplexo.com.
