Content Delivery Network Design

Designed and created a web portal to deliver customized music, video and web contents based on user selected

content attributes and modeled a Content Delivery Network [CDN] to disseminate this content across multiple

availability zones

Used Amazon’s EC2 Infrastructure [IaaS] to host the necessary file servers (that aggregates content from multiple

web sources, curates and processes them), application servers (to store and mount the portal code) and database

servers (to store user preferences for specific content types)

Used Amazon’s AMI [Amazon Machine Image] capabilities to create snapshot/template of the file, application and

database servers that can be seamlessly deployed across multiple availability zones

Developed the application using WAMP stack (Windows, Apache, MYSQL, PHP)

Scaling and Load Balancing Applications in Cloud

Used Amazon’s AWS AutoScaling API tools to demonstrate the server scalability (used the CDN application server

created in the previous project as an example) based on incoming load characteristics

Scaling is done by increasing/decreasing the number of application instances based on customizable load thresholds,

monitored using AWS CloudWatch API’s and performed thorough testing to verify that the system seamlessly

adjusts itself to constant variations in load (simulated using Jmeter)

Once scaled, used Amazon’s AWS ELB (Elastic Load Balancer) API tools to demonstrate how to perform load

distribution across the newly AutoScaled servers

Recommendation Engine using Mongo DB

Used an unstructured dataset of more than a million records from an online movie database to create a movie

recommendation engine based on scores generated using past searches

Created a java tool to clean the online dataset to fit to the specifications of Mongo DB (a database suited to store

unstructured data) and imported the same to the database

Used the “Slope one” recommendation API provided by Apache Mahout to generate user recommendations and

created a simple web portal to display the recommendations

Rental Car DB with Oracle SQL

Created a Rental Car Database providing interface for users to select a particular car model from the database

Identified the elements for a rental car service and its various attributes using the Oracle Data Modeler.

Developed using JSP as front end and Oracle SQL as backend DB
