Customer Overview

Cyber Cops is a growing cybersecurity awareness and training platform that serves thousands of users across India. They operate a public-facing WordPress-based website used for publishing blogs, courses, and event announcements.

Their earlier WordPress deployment was on a shared VPS host, which led to frequent performance issues, downtime during peak traffic, poor backup policies, and no CDN integration. The customer aimed to modernize hosting to improve reliability, scalability, and security.

Customer Overview

Customer Challenge

Customer Challenge
  • Frequent downtime during traffic spikes
  • Slow page loads due to lack of CDN or caching layers
  • No automated backup or update strategy
  • Shared tenancy increased vulnerability to exploits
  • Manual WordPress updates created plugin compatibility issues
  • No monitoring or alerting setup

Partner Solution

Revolutions.ai migrated Cyber Cops’ WordPress site to a high-availability architecture using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling, Amazon RDS (MySQL), and Amazon EFS. We containerized the WordPress workload and deployed it behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB) across multiple Availability Zones.

To ensure performance, we integrated Amazon CloudFront as a CDN, S3 for static content (media uploads), and implemented AWS WAF to mitigate common web attacks. Backups were managed through AWS Backup and automated AMI creation for EC2. CodePipeline was optionally used for staging and deployment of theme updates from GitHub.
