About Tokopedia

Challenges

Tokopedia’s major architecture is already cloud-native; however, due to the lack of a major public cloud provider in Jakarta, Tokopedia currently operates its IT infrastructure in three locations: BizNet Jakarta, Alibaba Cloud Singapore and AWS Singapore. The three environments are connected either via international private leased line or IPsec VPN. The current architecture has brought much higher complexity in terms of overall operations and is the result of a trade-off between the benefits of a major public cloud can bring and the network latency, regulation and compliance needs.

Why Alibaba Cloud


Architecture

From the networking perspective, Alibaba Cloud helped Tokopedia setup an international private leased line between Alibaba Cloud Singapore and Biznet Jakarta as well as an IPsec VPN between Alibaba Cloud Singapore and AWS Singapore to provide a secure networking environment to facilitate the full-site migration.
Each Tokopedia application follows a cloud-native architecture with well-defined web, application, caching, and database tiers with certain applications leveraging NoSQL database as well.

To support the full-stack migration, Alibaba Cloud has planned the migration journey together with Tokopedia following the migration best practices with the support of a set of robust migration tools at different layers such as Database Transmission Service (DTS), P2V/ V2V, OSS Import to support various kinds of scenarios such as migration of relational & NoSQL database, caching, VM, and object storage.

Through this setup, Tokopedia deployed Alibaba Cloud Hybrid WAF in our cloud platform (not Alibaba Cloud). The HWAF consists of defense nodes which have HWAF agent deployed in them, and management nodes which manage the scheduling and coordination of defense nodes. These different nodes are load balanced through respective Defense and Management load balancers. The HWAF structure automatically syncs with Alibaba Cloud WAF console and implement the same set of rules and other security configuration on the HWAF. The logs for HWAF are also promptly saved in Log Service in Alibaba Cloud.
