Modernizing technology is critical to ensuring the continued growth, scalability, and competitiveness of RAYWAN. With the evolving demands of cloud gaming and advancements in infrastructure and tools, this modernization plan focuses on making RAYWAN a more agile, efficient, and robust platform. Our vision is to streamline development, enhance performance, and future-proof the platform to align with industry standards.
Key Areas of Modernization
1. Database Migration
Objective: Transition from MongoDB to Supabase for improved performance, scalability, and developer productivity.
High complexity in query optimization for large-scale deployments. Limited native support for real-time data synchronization. PostgreSQL foundation ensures robust data integrity and advanced query capabilities. Built-in support for real-time data updates. Streamlined integration with modern frameworks and tools. Steps:
Design a comprehensive data migration plan, including schema mapping. Develop automated scripts to transfer data. Test and validate data consistency and integrity post-migration. 2. API Modernization
Objective: Revamp the existing API to adopt a modular and scalable architecture.
Monolithic structure leading to slower development cycles. Inconsistent documentation and testing practices. Transition to a microservices-based architecture. Use GraphQL for flexible and efficient data querying. Standardize API documentation with tools like Swagger or Postman. Implement robust testing pipelines to ensure API reliability. 3. Client Application Modernization
Objective: Enhance the cross-platform client app to provide a seamless user experience.
Lack of real-time feedback mechanisms (e.g., latency alerts, session quality indicators). Limited optimization for emerging platforms like smart TVs and wearables. Optimize the Flutter-based app for newer device form factors. Integrate real-time session analytics. Streamline onboarding with device-specific tutorials and guides. 4. Infrastructure Optimization
Objective: Leverage modern cloud infrastructure for cost-efficiency and performance.
Mixed usage of on-premises and cloud services, leading to inconsistent performance. Fully transition to containerized deployments using Docker and Kubernetes. Use AWS for scalable cloud resources, with a focus on serverless computing for APIs. Optimize server locations to reduce latency for global users. 5. Security Enhancements
Objective: Strengthen the platform’s security to ensure data privacy and user trust.
Implement OAuth 2.0 and enhanced device linking protocols. Regular security audits and penetration testing. Introduce end-to-end encryption for all user data streams. Expected Outcomes
Improved Performance: Reduced latency and faster API response times. Developer Productivity: Streamlined workflows with better tools and documentation. Scalability: Support for a growing user base without compromising quality. User Satisfaction: Enhanced user experience and trust through improved performance and security.
