The "star" industry in small towns is escorted by WeChat cloud hosting

The town has many stories, full of joy and joy.

Located at the southernmost tip of Henan Province, Xinyang is a small and medium-sized city with a permanent population of more than 6 million. It has four distinct seasons and a suitable climate. It has the reputation of "South of the Yangtze River and North of the Yangtze River". There are many entertainment facilities in Xinyang, but one of them is more special, that is, the "limited happiness" belonging to the locals-Xinyang Island Storm Water Park (hereinafter referred to as "Water Park").

The water park officially opened on June 16, 2016. It is the largest water park in Xinyang City. It is only open in summer for two months each year. The park is equipped with large speakers, large interactive water villages, wave pools, water splashing and other facilities. During the peak period, it can reach a scale of more than 1,000 people in a single day, which is an out-and-out "star industry" in the local area. In order to better serve tourists, the water park also launched an exclusive mini program in 2018, with Xinyang Changyuan Technology as the developer, allowing tourists to more conveniently complete ticket purchase, ticket inspection, refund and even distribution operations, while opening up the online line Under the consumption scene, provide the overall operational efficiency of the park.

Although there is only a business period of about two months each year, the over-popular business also brings challenges to the water park operators:

First of all, Xinyang Changyuan Technology is a small-scale entrepreneurial team with insufficient R&D manpower and very limited technology stacks. Secondly, business hours are relatively concentrated. From a year-round perspective, business data basically presents a relatively obvious normal distribution, with both The business peaks and business troughs have been brought to the test, so the stability of the business under high traffic and the flexibility under idle traffic have been tested. Finally, although the operating period is fixed, in order to maintain the popularity of the project, the small program needs to ensure full Years are available, which brings a part of the small program operation and maintenance costs. Faced with high server costs, the project team urgently needed an optimization solution that could balance availability and cost.

At this time, Changyuan Technology learned that WeChat cloud hosting might be able to meet related needs, so I experienced it and found that it was very smooth. A small program/official account back-end service could be quickly deployed in a few minutes. After further testing, it was found that the cloud Hosting can completely solve the problems encountered by the business, so the project is completely migrated to cloud hosting.

Chen Yongsong, head of Xinyang Changyuan Technology, said that WeChat cloud hosting has helped the business mainly from four aspects:

1. Effectively reduce manpower and R&D costs

WeChat Cloud Hosting adopts a cloud-native architecture and comes with features that are server-free and free of operation and maintenance, which effectively saves manpower. During the access to the cloud hosting process, only one R&D student completed the closed loop.

2. Reduce operating expenses

Since the water park project is only open for two months each year, this unbalanced consumption habit tests the reasonable allocation of cloud resources. Uneven distribution may cause service downtime or waste of resources. WeChat Cloud Hosting comes with its elastic expansion and shrinking can be perfectly solved. During the business operation period, when the traffic is soaring, the cloud hosting can automatically expand the business in the background, so there is no need to worry about the applet crashing and the event ends. Later, it can also be automatically scaled down, and can be scaled down to 0 at least without incurring any cost . The entire process is billed according to the amount, and you pay as much as you spend. There will be no embarrassing situations where the reserved server resources are not enough to cause service downtime, or the excess reserved resources cause waste.

3. Start-up cost is almost zero

Traditional enterprises who want to have a complete front-end and back-end development system often require a lot of capital investment, not to mention the relatively more flexible front-end and back-end separation model, which is a lot of overhead for most small and medium-sized enterprises. WeChat Cloud Hosting solves this problem well. It provides each user with a three-month free quota, which adds a lot of trial and error costs to the business. It is more suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and start-ups. At the same time, WeChat Cloud Hosting is natural Support the development mode of separation of front and back ends, MySQL database, pipeline, log monitoring, etc. are all integrated in the platform, without cumbersome configuration and calling, reducing the adhesion of front and back end codes, changing business codes, and making it more flexible.

4. Easily call the open capabilities of

Using the cloud call function hosted by the cloud, you can easily call WeChat open capabilities such as WeChat Pay. It comes with features such as private secure links, certificate-free management, and signature-free computing, allowing enterprises to operate their businesses in the WeChat ecosystem with greater peace of mind and peace of mind. .

Chen Yongsong said that the project used WeChat cloud-hosted code hosting, MySQL, cache, cloud storage, and timing expansion and contraction capabilities, which effectively solved the problem of high concurrency of small programs, and at the same time improved the overall stability, the most friendly It is easy to deploy. allows small teams like us to quickly use cloud services.

It is one of the original intentions of WeChat cloud hosting to allow more enterprises and developers to enjoy simple and fast cloud hosting. In order to reduce the barriers to One-click deployment of is supported through Node.js and PHP. , Python, Java and Golang and other 5 language templates to quickly deploy a complete back-end project. In addition to continuously simplifying the deployment process, cloud hosting is also about to launch WebSocket, third-party service provider models, etc., to meet business development needs in more scenarios.
