About the Customer

FinTech Solution is a financial technology provider offering secure, real-time payment and account management services to small and medium enterprises. The company operates in a highly regulated industry where system uptime, data protection, and compliance are critical to business success.

Customer Challenge

FinTech Solution was running its critical application on a single Amazon EC2 instance in the US-East-2 (Ohio) region. This static environment posed multiple risks:

  • Scalability: The system could not handle sudden spikes in traffic, risking service slowdowns and outages during peak demand.
  • Reliability: Without redundancy or failover, an EC2 instance failure could cause full downtime.
  • Traffic Management & Security: All HTTP/HTTPS traffic was served directly by the instance without SSL termination, exposing sensitive customer data.
  • Monitoring: Minimal monitoring and no historical usage data limited the ability to optimize resources or forecast demand.
  • Database Availability: The database lacked redundancy, creating a single point of failure and potential data loss.
  • Audit & Compliance: CloudTrail was not enabled, leaving gaps in security auditing and regulatory compliance.

If left unaddressed, these challenges would continue to create operational risk, drive up unnecessary costs, and undermine customer trust.

Partner Solution

Onedata Software Solutions designed and implemented a modern AWS architecture to address scalability, reliability, cost, and compliance requirements. The engagement included pre-migration discovery, architecture design, implementation, and post-migration managed services.

1. Scalability and Load Balancing

  • Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling groups were configured with scaling policies to add capacity when CPU utilization exceeded 70% for more than 5 minutes and scale down when below 20%.
  • An Application Load Balancer (ALB) was deployed to distribute traffic evenly across instances and enable path- and host-based routing.
  • Amazon CloudWatch health checks automatically replaced unhealthy instances.

Outcome: The platform now scales automatically with demand, ensuring stable performance during peak traffic.

2. Cost Optimization

  • Auto Scaling reduced infrastructure costs by removing idle resources during off-peak periods.
  • Instances were right-sized to align with workload requirements.

Outcome: Monthly infrastructure costs were reduced by ~40% while maintaining high performance.

3. Reliability and High Availability

  • The ALB and EC2 instances were deployed across multiple Availability Zones.
  • Health checks and automated instance replacement minimized downtime risk.

Outcome: The solution eliminated the single point of failure, achieving near 99.99% uptime at the application tier.

4. Secure Traffic Management

  • AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) provisioned SSL certificates for secure HTTPS traffic termination at the ALB.
  • Centralized SSL management reduced operational overhead and strengthened data protection.

Outcome: All customer transactions are now encrypted, ensuring security and compliance.

5. Database High Availability

  • The database was migrated to Amazon RDS in Multi-AZ configuration with automatic failover.
  • Replication ensured data durability, and automated backups were enabled for recovery needs.

Outcome: Database RTO (Recovery Time Objective) dropped to less than 2 minutes, eliminating downtime risk.

6. Monitoring and Analytics

  • Amazon CloudWatch captured key performance metrics (CPU, I/O, network).
  • Logs were centralized and integrated with Grafana dashboards for real-time and historical insights.

Outcome: Operational visibility improved significantly, with ~70% faster detection of performance issues and proactive capacity planning.

7. Security and Compliance

  • AWS CloudTrail was enabled across all regions, with logs stored in an encrypted Amazon S3 bucket.
  • Role-based access and retention policies were enforced to support compliance audits.

Outcome: The client achieved full audit visibility, meeting internal and regulatory compliance requirements.
