The Challenge
TechCorp, a growing SaaS company, was struggling with their on-premise infrastructure. Their legacy servers couldn't handle traffic spikes, leading to frequent downtime and customer complaints.
Key Pain Points:
- High monthly infrastructure costs ($15,000/month)
- Poor uptime performance (97.2% availability)
- Manual scaling causing service disruptions
- Slow deployment cycles (2-3 days per release)
- Limited disaster recovery capabilities
Our Solution
We designed and implemented a comprehensive AWS cloud migration strategy, moving TechCorp from legacy infrastructure to a modern, scalable cloud environment.
Implementation Highlights:
- AWS EC2 auto-scaling groups for dynamic resource allocation
- Application Load Balancer for high availability
- RDS Multi-AZ deployment for database reliability
- CloudFront CDN for global content delivery
- CI/CD pipeline with AWS CodePipeline
- Comprehensive monitoring with CloudWatch
