About the Project

Shahen Express runs a B2B logistics marketplace across Saudi Arabia — requesters, providers, admin tools, trip documents, and real-time operations. The platform needed reliable AWS infrastructure: secure API hosting, object storage for trip docs and media, CDN delivery for the Angular frontends, and repeatable staging/production deploys without manual drift.

  • Compute - Laravel API on EC2 with staging and production environments
  • Storage & CDN - S3 userdata/docs buckets plus CloudFront for the Angular app
  • DevOps - automated deploy scripts, health checks, and GitHub Actions pipelines

The Challenges

  1. 01

    Backend, frontend, and media lived across separate hosts with fragile manual releases.

  2. 02

    Trip documents and userdata required S3 policies that stayed secure while remaining usable in-app.

  3. 03

    Staging and production needed the same deploy path so hotfixes did not skip health checks.

  4. 04

    CloudFront cache invalidation and EC2 releases had to stay coordinated after every frontend build.

Solutions

Solution 01

Provisioned and hardened AWS EC2 for the Laravel API with environment-specific configs and post-deploy health checks.

Solution 02

Configured S3 buckets for userdata and trip documents, including folder-level access policies for public-read assets where required.

Solution 03

Hosted Angular builds on S3 with CloudFront distribution and automated cache invalidation on release.

Solution 04

Built deploy scripts and CI/CD so staging and production share one path: build, ship, verify.
