Personnel platform scales fast with AWS
**Challenge**
In 2016, the Personnel Management Platform decided to digitize its process for processing verification filter requests and transition it to the cloud. They required a robust solution capable of managing a high volume of substantial requests. Furthermore, as their client base was increasing quickly, there arose a significant daily demand for services that required prompt attention. Ensuring service availability was vital for their clients' selection processes, necessitating secure online management of all related documentation.
**Solution**
Over the past three years, the Platform has expanded considerably. To meet this demand, they utilize a strong architecture featuring Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances for their application, a MySQL database on Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), and continuous monitoring through Amazon CloudWatch. Caleidos, an AWS Select Consulting Partner, assisted in implementing this solution, establishing an infrastructure that is always accessible, secure, and scalable. They also conduct automatic backups using Snapshots, managed by serverless Lambda functions, to ensure data can be recovered in case of any disasters (Disaster Recovery). Additionally, CloudTrail is employed to maintain a record of all activities carried out within the infrastructure.
**Benefits**
The cloud's flexibility and scalability have enabled the Personnel Management Platform to grow rapidly without incurring additional infrastructure or operational costs. They also continuously enhance their platform, leveraging AWS for quick and efficient integration of new features, allowing them to transition from testing to production in just minutes, all while maintaining service availability.
