Modernizing Public Portal Architecture for Northeast India
Re-engineering legacy database services to handle heavy transactional citizen volumes.
Problem Statement
The legacy state public service portal frequently suffered server crashes during registration seasons, leaving citizens unable to retrieve certificates or verify property licenses.
Key Challenges
- !Monolithic application code with tight coupling and legacy PHP 5.4 dependencies.
- !Unindexed database tables holding over 10 million rows, causing severe query time-outs.
- !Strict accessibility regulations requiring simple layouts compatible with 2G and 3G networks.
The Solution
We migrated the portal to a microservices architecture using Next.js for high-speed server rendering (SSR) and Node.js backend controllers. We set up read replicas for database queries, optimized indexes, and implemented light client bundles.
Our Development Process
- 1
Phase 1
Performance auditing and database profiling to spot severe bottlenecks.
- 2
Phase 2
Extracting citizen authentication and certificate retrieval modules into microservices.
- 3
Phase 3
Designing a clean, accessible mobile-friendly front-end complying with international standard guidelines.
- 4
Phase 4
Setting up automated CI/CD pipelines and rolling out the platform incrementally.
Technologies Used
Quantitative Outcomes
- Increased system capacity to support 50,000+ concurrent active sessions.
- Zero portal downtime recorded during the peak application period in 2025.
- Lighthouse accessibility score improved from 41 to 97, ensuring seamless access across rural connections.
