Optimizing AWS Infrastructure
Built a secure, GDPR-compliant AWS foundation with optimized environments, automation, and pay-as-you-go efficiency.
Privacy Software Provider, UK | Technology (B2B & B2C Software)
01
Background
A UK-based privacy software company wanted to leverage the breadth of AWS services to build their B2B and B2C applications. The customer required a secure, scalable, and compliant cloud foundation, with optimized workloads across testing, staging, and pre-production environments.
They also aimed to provide best-in-class security controls while meeting regulatory standards like GDPR.
02
Challenges
- Need to automatically drop non-production workloads using tools to control costs.
- Requirement to use GitHub for infrastructure build code.
- Compliance with GDPR regulations for data protection.
- Managing access for outsourced development teams across different environments.
03
Our Approach
Cherrylabs designed and implemented a Terraform-based provisioning framework for AWS services, enabling consistent, automated deployments.
- Built an AWS Landing Zone to provide secure and structured access for all environments.
- Configured all services using private endpoints to enhance security.
- Created an API Gateway to securely expose the application to external users.
