Excellent driving and Ali cloud never imagined

U-Drive is an innovative car networking service that is comprised of UW-Car Intelligent Sensor, U-Link App and UHD-Cloud, which provides drivers with innovative vehicles and driving services by reading and analyzing driving data. Since its release, excellent driver has been recognized by many owners, every day a large number of owners are using superior drive.

You drive products listed, one after another met the following questions

1, the amount of data is too large, excellent cloud service platform response slower and slower, can not be flexible expansion

During the process of using the excellent driver, the user collected a large amount of computer data of car driving. As the amount of users gradually increases, the pressure of storing and calculating is superior. Our customer service colleagues have received feedback from many users, saying that you are getting slower and slower in uploading and analyzing data. In the meantime, the first server we purchased was in full disk space after 2 months of formal deployment of the excellent cloud platform. We were forced to upgrade a server. Re-purchase server deployment, looking for IDC center hosting, this process both cost and effort. But two months later, the nightmare again, the server's computing power and keep up.

2, data security is not guaranteed, data recovery time is long

Because the database does not have dual-system hot backup, after the database problems, only the most recent backup to do data recovery, the amount of data is too large, the entire database recovery process takes several hours.

3, the northern user access speed significantly slower than the South user

Due to the fact that the network service provided by our original server-hosted IDC is telecom, the feedback from users in the north is slow to be accessed, and the access speed differs significantly depending on the mobile network.

4, the server is not stable enough, lack of means of operation and maintenance, need to spend a lot of energy

Once in the early hours, the server was down, but lack of means of operation and maintenance, no active monitoring and notification, service interruption for more than 1 hour.

Contact Aliyun, never imagined such a cheap cloud service

Alibaba Cloud's early adopters had employees who, under his introduction, started to talk to Aliyun. On the domestic Aliyun, Tencent cloud cloud platform for understanding and comparison. Aliyun's RDS database, hot standby, slow SQL query performance monitoring system, professional database backup, recovery and optimization programs, deeply attracted us. Even more surprising is that Ali cloud products cheaper, accounting down, just equivalent to our IDC center hosting costs, eliminating the need to buy the server costs.

Deploy to Ali cloud

1, to solve the bottleneck of data storage and calculation

When the excellent driving cloud service platform deployed to Ali cloud, the bottleneck to solve the data storage and computing resources. Aliyun's technical staff, the database design gives a lot of good advice. At the same time, RDS performance monitoring gives SQL optimization recommendations. After implementing these suggestions, the response speed of UDD service has been greatly improved, which has solved the bottleneck of data storage and calculation. The performance of RDS is astonishing, more powerful than the MySQL we buy on our own, with less system resource usage.

2, users across the country access speed significantly improved

Due to Aliyun's high-quality network, the same network bandwidth, access to users across the country significantly improved.

3, the server no longer down

Aliyun server since the deployment has not happened downtime, the server running status can also be real-time tracking and monitoring, operation and maintenance to reduce a lot of workload.

4, to prevent traffic attacks

When we migrated the data to the Aliyun server, we immediately received Aliyun's anomaly alarm after the file migration started, suggesting that we might be subjected to traffic attacks. At the same time, the data file transfer speed was limited immediately. Later I realized that Alibaba Cloud started a protection mechanism against flow attacks. Although this is a misunderstanding, but let us appreciate Ali cloud reliable security services.

5, soared downloads, OSS services show off their skills

Once we released a major App update, after the update notification was released, the download traffic immediately filled up the bandwidth of the web server. User feedback was slow to download but the server was overwhelmed. We think of Ali cloud OSS service, immediately upload the App installation package to the OSS, the download link to the OSS service, WEB server immediately returned to normal operation. Due to the $ 200 OSS voucher provided by Alibaba Cloud, we solved the problem of soaring download volume and provided users with excellent App update service at no cost.

In short, with the support of Aliyun, we have solved the problems that can not be solved by our own technologies and financial resources at a very low cost
