Cost-effective platform for development, testing and production of startup for car owners

It was necessary for the client to implement a cost-effective and secure platform for development, testing and production. The solution had to be resilient to any failures and require almost zero operational effort. At the same time, the infrastructure didn't have to limit the fast pace of the project. At the same time because of strict security requirements OpsWorks Co. team had to revise the current infrastructure and reinforce it. The client's applications use some services managed by third-party companies, like MongoDB and ElasticCloud.

Because the client was using third-party services, our team implemented VPC peering with third-party providers to carry sensitive traffic over the AWS backbone. In addition, we moved their scheduled job to AWS Batch, which reduced the cost of it. For security purposes, we have implemented a strict MFA rule for a wide range of services.

Our engineers make extensive use of AWS services for development. Code is stored in CodeCommit and CodeBuild, CodePipeline and CodeDeploy are used as CI/CD. AWS ElasticBeanstalk was chosen as the platform for the application.

The client application is still evolving, so we continue to adapt it to AWS services by selecting the most cost-effective instance size, customizing the environment, and selecting and recommending a possible architecture to meet the application requirements. It is still using some resources in Azure and is not ready to migrate them.
