KMAG.pl is a leading Polish online media platform that underwent a comprehensive technological transformation. The project involved migrating from a legacy Nuxt + Node.js architecture to a modern React-Next.js frontend with Strapi CMS, alongside a complete infrastructure migration from OVH to AWS. This strategic overhaul delivered exceptional improvements in performance, accessibility, and SEO capabilities.

Challenges
Legacy architecture limitationsThe existing Nuxt + Node.js stack presented scalability challenges and maintenance overhead that hindered rapid feature development.
Infrastructure constraintsOVH hosting lacked seamless integration with existing S3 storage and CDN setup, creating operational complexity.
Apex domain DNS limitationsTraditional DNS providers like nazwa.pl do not support apex domain CNAME records for CDN integration, limiting performance optimization options.
Cost efficiency at scaleInitial exploration of EC2 and Docker ECS solutions proved less cost-efficient and harder to manage for the project requirements.
Applied
Solutions
Modern JAMstack ArchitectureMigrated to React-Next.js for the frontend with Strapi CMS as a headless content management solution, enabling faster development cycles and better developer experience.
AWS Infrastructure MigrationConsolidated infrastructure on AWS with Route 53 ALIAS records for apex domain CDN support, CloudFront for content delivery, and free SSL certificates via ACM.
Optimized Database LayerDeployed PostgreSQL on AWS Lightsail, providing predictable pricing and excellent performance compared to more complex EC2 or ECS configurations.
Unified Cloud EcosystemAchieved consistency across S3 storage, CDN, DNS, and compute resources within a single AWS ecosystem for simplified operations and monitoring.
Results
- The migration delivered exceptional user experience improvements with significantly faster page load times, enhanced Core Web Vitals scores, and improved SEO rankings.
- AWS infrastructure provides enterprise-grade reliability with free SSL, apex domain CDN support via Route 53 ALIAS records, and streamlined operations.
- The Lightsail-based PostgreSQL deployment offers optimal cost-efficiency while maintaining high performance, proving more practical than EC2 or ECS alternatives for this workload.
