About the Customer

CSH Direk is a FinTech company delivering secure, reliable, and scalable digital financial services. As part of its growth strategy, the company developed a custom financial application stack that required a robust hosting environment. The key business need was to deploy this application on AWS with best practices in security, reliability, scalability, and cost optimization to ensure compliance and long-term growth.

Challenges Before AWS

While CSH Direk had successfully developed its core application, it lacked a cloud infrastructure that could support production-grade operations. Key challenges included:

  • Application Hosting Gaps – The development environment was not optimized for production workloads.
  • Scalability Needs – Infrastructure had to support unpredictable spikes in financial transactions and customer traffic.
  • Database Reliability – Required a managed, secure, and highly available database solution to safeguard financial data.
  • Security & Compliance – FinTech operations required strict access control, monitoring, and encryption.
  • Operational Efficiency – The company wanted to minimize manual server management and focus on product development.

Objectives

The AWS implementation aimed to:

  • Host the custom-developed application in a secure and production-ready environment.
  • Ensure high availability and automated failover for business continuity.
  • Strengthen security posture with IAM policies, encryption, and logging.
  • Optimize performance and scalability with AWS-native services.
  • Reduce operational overhead through managed services.

AWS Architecture Implemented

The infrastructure was designed and deployed using AWS-native services to balance scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency:

  • Amazon EC2 – Hosted the application stack (backend APIs, frontend services, and Node.js/PHP components) with Nginx.
  • Amazon RDS (MySQL) – Provided a fully managed database with multi-AZ deployment, automated backups, and monitoring.
  • Application Load Balancer (ALB) – Ensured high availability and distributed traffic across EC2 instances.
  • Auto Scaling – Automatically adjusts compute resources to meet demand during peak usage.
  • AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) – Managed SSL/TLS certificates for secure HTTPS communication.
  • Amazon VPC – Hosted workloads in isolated private/public subnets with security group rules for controlled access.
  • AWS CloudWatch & CloudTrail – Delivered monitoring, logging, and auditing for compliance and operational insights.
  • IAM Roles & Policies – Enforced least-privilege access control for administrators and applications.

Implementation Approach

  1. Assessment & Design
    • Reviewed application requirements and designed a secure, scalable AWS architecture.
    • Defined VPC network topology with private subnets for RDS and public subnets for EC2.
  2. Infrastructure Setup
    • Provisioned EC2 instances for application hosting.
    • Deployed Amazon RDS with Multi-AZ for resilience.
    • Configured IAM roles, security groups, and network ACLs.
  3. Application Hosting
    • Deployed backend (PHP/Node.js APIs) and frontend (Angular build) on EC2 with Nginx.
    • Integrated RDS for financial data storage and optimized queries.
  4. Security & Compliance
    • Applied for SSL/TLS certificates via ACM.
    • Enabled CloudTrail for audit logging and CloudWatch for operational monitoring.
    • Implemented encryption at rest (RDS) and in transit (HTTPS).
  5. Testing & Optimization
    • Performed load and performance testing.
    • Tuned Auto Scaling policies to handle transaction spikes.
    • Validated backup/restore and failover processes.

Results Achieved

  • Secure Production Hosting – Application hosted in a secure AWS environment with IAM, SSL, and network isolation.
  • Improved Reliability – RDS Multi-AZ and Auto Scaling reduced downtime risk and ensured resilience.
  • Enhanced Performance – Load-balanced EC2 instances improved response times by ~50%.
  • Compliance-Ready Architecture – Logging, encryption, and monitoring supported FinTech security requirements.
  • Operational Efficiency – AWS managed services reduced overhead, enabling CSH Direk to focus on innovation.

Key Takeaways

The AWS infrastructure implementation empowered CSH Direk to:

  • Successfully host and run its custom FinTech application on AWS.
  • Deliver secure, reliable, and scalable digital financial services.
  • Build a future-proof foundation ready for additional automation, analytics, and growth.
