Problem Statement

A client sought to migrate their SaaS application from a VPS to AWS to improve scalability, security, and deployment efficiency. The existing setup lacked automation, robust CI/CD workflows, and strong security, making development slow and error-prone. The client needed a modern, well-architected cloud infrastructure with CI/CD, container orchestration, monitoring, and security best practices.

PROJECT SCHEDULE

Oct 2024 — Dec 2024

PROJECT SIZE

$10,000 to $49,999

Proposed Solution

ALB for traffic distribution

Amazon RDS for secure database management

Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring

S3 for log and backup storage

VPC, VPN, WAF, CloudFront for security

The new AWS infrastructure integrates CI/CD using Jenkins, Docker, and ArgoCD, with Kubernetes handling container orchestration. A private code repository and Docker registry enhance code and image security. This setup enables efficient, automated deployments and improves reliability through continuous monitoring and infrastructure scalability.

Lessons Learned

Key takeaways included the importance of scalability with auto-scaling and Kubernetes, the value of automation in CI/CD workflows, the need for proactive monitoring, and the benefits of cloud-native security. Cost optimization required ongoing resource management to prevent overprovisioning.

TCO Analysis

A comparison between VPS and AWS revealed significant savings and operational benefits. AWS reduced manual processes, improved security, and provided scalable infrastructure. Pay-as-you-go pricing minimized upfront costs, while automation reduced labor expenses. AWS's built-in services outperformed the client's existing VPS setup in cost, performance, and security.
