A growing health tech startup based in Italy reached out to Peerbits. Despite their small size, their medical software solutions are growing rapidly. Their internal development team is committed to providing cloud management software for doctors. However, with growing demands, they wanted to enhance their healthcare delivery through cloud technology. They chose Peerbits due to our expertise in cloud infrastructure for delivering scalable, secure, and automated solutions.

They needed a partner who could provide:

  • Expertise in AWS: Knowledge & expertise of AWS services.
  • Automation capabilities: Ability to implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and continuous deployment.
  • Security best practices: Ensuring compliance with healthcare standards and security measures

The Challenges

  • Difficulty in managing increasing loads of data.
  • Manual intervention in infrastructure led to inefficiencies and human error.
  • Minimizing manual operations to avoid risk and dependabilities.

The Solution

  • We implemented auto-scaling groups and load balancers to ensure their infrastructure could handle varying loads seamlessly.
  • We applied AWS security best practices, including VPC, IAM roles, security groups, and encryption at rest and in transit to strengthen their data security & compliance.
  • We enabled automated and repeatable infrastructure deployment by using AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) for Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
  • We used Java for defining cloud infrastructure as it was familiar to their internal team & required no new training for updates.
  • The default AWS CloudWatch service helped in monitoring, logging, and alerting for visibility of infrastructure performance and security.

Key features

  • Setup of AWS VPC : A virtual private cloud (VPC) is set up using AWS CDK to provide a secure and isolated environment for the application.
  • Setup of Aurora Serverless 2 : A serverless database cluster is set up using AWS Aurora Serverless 2, which provides a scalable and cost-effective database solution.
  • Setup of AKS with EC2 : A Kubernetes cluster is set up using AWS AKS (Amazon Kubernetes Service) with EC2 instances, which provides a managed container orchestration service.
  • Setup of S3 bucket : An S3 bucket is set up to provide object storage for the application.
  • Setup of Bastion server : A Bastion server is set up to provide secure access to the application's infrastructure.
  • Setup of AWS ECR : An Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) is set up to store and manage Docker container images for the application.

Results

  • Reduced manual intervention
  • Automatically scalable infrastructure
  • High availability & performance based on demand
  • Minimized infrastructure errors and improved efficiency
  • Enhanced security measures and compliance with healthcare standards
  • Cost-optimization with AWS resource usage
