Domailmax

A fast-growing B2B SaaS company needed a highly scalable, microservices-based platform to support their growing customer base. Their monolithic system struggled with scalability, performance bottlenecks, and deployment issues. Campaignsquat architected and implemented a fully modular microservices platform using Go (Golang), Kubernetes, and PostgreSQL, enabling 99.99% uptime, 5x faster deployments, and a 70% reduction in server costs.

Domailmax Platform

Client Background

Domailmax, a SaaS company specializing in marketing automation tools, had:

• A growing customer base with thousands of concurrent users.
• A legacy monolithic application that was difficult to scale.
• Slow deployments and frequent downtime affecting customer experience.
• High server costs due to inefficient resource utilization.

Their goal was to migrate from a monolithic system to a scalable microservices-based architecture.

The Challenge

The transition from a monolithic to a microservices system posed several challenges:

1️⃣ Scalability Issues

• The existing system couldn’t handle growing traffic, leading to frequent crashes.
• Horizontal scaling was inefficient and led to high infrastructure costs.

2️⃣ Slow Deployment & Maintenance

• Deployments took hours and required full application restarts, causing downtime.
• Bug fixes and feature rollouts were delayed due to the tightly coupled codebase.

3️⃣ Data Consistency & API Communication

• Managing data consistency across microservices was complex.
• Ensuring low-latency communication between services was crucial.

4️⃣ Security & Fault Tolerance

• The system required robust authentication & authorization.
• Microservices needed automatic failover and self-healing mechanisms.

Goals

Our objectives for Domailmax’s new platform:

• ✅ Migrate from a monolithic system to a microservices architecture.
• ✅ Achieve near-zero downtime with faster, independent deployments.
• ✅ Reduce infrastructure costs by optimizing resource allocation.
• ✅ Ensure real-time communication between microservices.
• ✅ Implement high security and fault tolerance.

The Solution

Campaignsquat built a fully modular microservices-based SaaS platform using:

Technology Stack

• Frontend: Vue.js for a dynamic user dashboard.
• Backend: Go (Golang) microservices with gRPC.
• Database: PostgreSQL for structured data, Redis for caching.
• Containerization: Docker & Kubernetes for auto-scaling.
• Authentication: OAuth 2.0 & JWT for secure user authentication.
• Message Queue: RabbitMQ for event-driven architecture.

Key Features Implemented

• Modular Microservices Architecture: Each service (user management, billing, analytics, etc.) runs independently. Services communicate via gRPC, reducing API latency.
• Auto-Scaling & Load Balancing: Kubernetes ensures auto-scaling based on traffic spikes. Nginx load balancer optimizes request handling.
• Faster Deployments & Zero Downtime: CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions + ArgoCD) automates deployments. Rolling updates prevent downtime during updates.
• Advanced Security & Role-Based Access: OAuth 2.0 with JWT tokens for secure authentication. RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) for user permissions.
• Optimized Database & Caching: PostgreSQL for structured transactional data. Redis for caching frequently accessed data, boosting API performance by 60%.

Results

Post-launch, Domailmax experienced significant improvements:

• 🚀 99.99% uptime: Zero downtime during updates.
• ⚡ 5x faster deployments: Reducing release cycles from hours to minutes.
• 💰 70% lower infrastructure costs: By optimizing resource allocation.
• 🔄 Seamless scalability: The system automatically scales during traffic spikes.
