About
Piufoto
Piufoto
Piufoto is a globally recognized leader in live-photo technology. Photographers can seamlessly connect their smartphones to a camera using the Piufoto app, either wired or wirelessly. Piufoto efficiently transfers photos from the camera to a shared album promptly and automatically without interrupting the photography process. Customers can download AI-retouched photos from the shared album within seconds, ensuring an exceptional visual experience. This technology is widely utilized at conferences, exhibitions, sports events, weddings, parties, and PR functions.
Challenges
The company’s challenges lie in ensuring user data security and maintaining cloud server stability. The key objective includes prioritizing data safety and enhancing the reliability of the cloud infrastructure.
Why Alibaba Cloud
Piufoto realized that Alibaba Cloud not only provides outstanding services to ensure the security of user data and stable data transmission but also adheres to global regulatory principles. It helps to comply with the regulatory laws of various countries regarding personal data storage. With robust technical support and rigorous security measures, Piufoto can confidently rely on Alibaba Cloud to deliver reliable and secure data storage and transmission services to the end-users.
Architecture
Piufoto harnesses Alibaba Cloud's Elastic Compute Service (ECS) and Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) to ensure smooth and stable data transmission for their cutting-edge AI image editing platform. By utilizing the robust capabilities of Alibaba Cloud's image recognition and processing, Piufoto promotes technical proficiency in AI image editing, meeting the high expectations of its user base.
Piufoto employs Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS) for data storage, which is further fortified with a Server Load Balancer (SLB) to manage high traffic and support concurrent browsing seamlessly. For additional computational requirements, B relies on Alibaba Cloud's innovative PolarDB and Redis services, which ensures fast data retrieval and effective data caching mechanisms for optimal performance.
Furthermore, Piufoto integrates Alibaba Cloud's Container Registry (ACR) for secure image storage and deployment, while leveraging ApsaraMQ for message queuing to handle communication between services effectively. This structured approach bolsters the security of their data storage solutions.
By incorporating Alibaba Cloud's Security Log Service (SLS), Piufoto also ensures the legality of data processing, which aligns with global compliance and data protection regulations. The Elastic IP (EIP) and NAT Gateway services provide secure and stable connectivity for virtual computing environments, ensuring integrity in data transactions over the cloud.
To further enhance the user experience, Piufoto uses Alibaba Cloud's Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Dynamic Route for CDN (DCDN), significantly optimizing image loading times and ensuring swift data transmission even during peak usage.
Through the thoughtful integration of these comprehensive Alibaba Cloud services, Piufoto ensures exceptional reliability in data transmission, uncompromised security in storage, and unwavering legality in processing while delivering technical excellence in AI image editing capabilities, making them a leader in their industry.
Notice: ApsaraDB for Redis and Tair have been merged and renamed to Tair (Redis® OSS-compatible) since September 2024.
Key Results
In collaboration with Alibaba Cloud, Piufoto ensures its leading position in the image live streaming domain.
Looking Forward
The image live streaming technology has been widely adopted in the exhibition industry in China but is yet to be promoted in Southeast Asian countries, such as Singapore and Malaysia. Piufoto anticipates this to be a blue ocean opportunity, especially in collaboration with Alibaba Cloud, allowing its business to grow rapidly in Southeast Asia while ensuring data security.
With the introduction of this advanced technology, Southeast Asia’s exhibition industry is poised for innovative transformation, providing event organizers and participants with a more immersive, real-time, and interactive experience.
Leveraging the robust technical support from Alibaba Cloud, Piufoto aims to become a leader in the region’s exhibition industry, offering efficient, secure, and innovative image live streaming solutions for various events and driving the industry forward.
