Building a Secure and Scalable Infrastructure for Healthcare Innovation with Keturah Tech
Challenge
Saras Labs, a leading US healthcare and life sciences company, was developing a groundbreaking wearable health product. They needed a reliable and scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS to support the product’s entire lifecycle – from development to data analysis and deployment. Key requirements included:
Robust Data Storage and Retrieval: Securely store and retrieve data generated by the wearable device, ensuring high availability and reliability to prevent data loss or downtime.
Scalability for Growth: The infrastructure needed to seamlessly scale as Saras Labs acquires more users and their data volume increases.
Streamlined Development and Deployment: Automate the development and deployment processes to accelerate product development cycles.
Solution
Keturah Tech’s cloud architects designed and implemented a secure and scalable infrastructure on AWS that met Saras Labs’ specific needs. Here’s a breakdown of the key components:
Highly Available Data Storage:
Amazon RDS PostgreSQL Databases: Two highly available RDS PostgreSQL databases were deployed with read replicas for redundancy and fault tolerance.
Automatic Backups: Regular backups ensured data protection in case of unexpected events.
Scalable Application Hosting:
EC2 Instances: Node.js-based frontend applications and backend APIs were hosted on EC2 instances, providing a flexible foundation for scaling.
Application Load Balancer (ALB): An ALB efficiently distributed incoming traffic across the EC2 instances, ensuring optimal performance and high availability.
Secure and Scalable API Access: API Gateway provided a secure and scalable entry point for accessing the backend API, ensuring data security.
Streamlined Development and Deployment: A CI/CD pipeline was established using AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy. This automated the build, test, and deployment process, accelerating development cycles and reducing manual errors.
Results
Through this collaboration, Saras Labs achieved:
Secure and Reliable Data Management: The robust infrastructure ensures high availability and protects sensitive healthcare data.
Scalable Infrastructure for Growth: The cloud-based foundation can easily scale to accommodate future user growth and data volume.
Faster Development Cycles: The automated CI/CD pipeline streamlines development and deployment, allowing Saras Labs to focus on product innovation.
Reduced Risks and Costs: The automated and secure infrastructure minimizes potential errors and data loss, lowering operational risks and costs.
