Centrae, a dynamic technology company, sought to optimise its microservices infrastructure for enhanced availability, scalability, and security. Their goal was to ensure seamless operation across multiple environments while bolstering defences against cyber threats.
Centrae is confronted with a significant business obstacle as they prepare to launch their product. The primary focus revolves around guaranteeing a seamless and prosperous go-live, all the while establishing a resilient and safeguarded infrastructure. The current non-production setup must align with industry-leading standards, presenting potential threats and obstacles to the overall performance and security of the product.
Centrae faced the challenge of building an infrastructure to support microservices running on containers that would be highly available, scalable, and secure. Additionally, they needed to establish a robust monitoring process for resource management and automate the building and deployment of their services.
To overcome the challenges and achieve the project goals, we implemented the
following solutions:
Leveraging Amazon ECS, Centrae deployed microservices across various environments, including development, testing, and production. ECS ensured scalability and flexibility in managing containerized applications.
Centrae set up RDS databases in multi-AZ configuration to achieve high availability. This ensured redundancy and minimized downtime in case of failures.
Centrae implemented a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to filter bot requests and enhance security against web-based attacks.
Utilizing AWS Security Hub with CIS policies, Centrae managed server security according to industry best practices.
By implementing WAF, Security Hub, and adhering to CIS policies, Centrae significantly improved security, achieving a 78% increase, and enhancing the protection of their client's application.
Implementation of WAF and adherence to CIS policies led to a significant increase in security, improving protection against web-based attacks.
