The Challenge

The client faced several key challenges, including:

  • Inefficient legacy infrastructure: Their existing infrastructure was outdated and unable to support the scalability and performance required for modern applications. 
  • High operational costs: Maintaining and managing their legacy systems significantly burdened their IT budget. 
  • Limited agility: The organization needed help to innovate and adapt to changing market conditions due to the constraints of its legacy infrastructure. 
  • Security concerns: Protecting their sensitive customer data was a top priority, and the organization needed to ensure that its cloud environment met the highest security standards.

  • Containerization: EC2 instances were containerized and deployed using Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) to improve scalability, portability, and manageability.
  • Database migration: Database workloads were migrated to RDS and Aurora databases, offering enhanced performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Application modernization: Three-tier applications were modernized by adopting a microservices architecture and leveraging serverless technologies.
  • Security and design frameworks: Implementing strong security measures and design frameworks to build new serverless applications hosted in S3 to protect the client's sensitive data.
