A prominent company in the healthcare and preventive medicine industry sought to enhance their operational capabilities by leveraging modern technology. They aimed to optimize their Cloud infrastructure to improve service delivery and efficiency. To achieve this, they teamed up with STX Next to make key DevOps improvements.
The organization faced several operational challenges that were affecting their cost efficiency, security, and infrastructure management.
With monthly infrastructure costs running at $5,000, their setup heavily depended on EC2 instances, which lacked the ability to automatically adjust resources and properly separate production from test environments.
Their main goals were to cut costs, improve security, streamline development and deployment, enable autoscaling, and establish robust testing and disaster recovery plans.
