Real-World Implementations
Azure to AWS Cloud Migration
Challenge
ProbiusDx, a bioinformatics startup analyzing medical diagnostic data, was facing high Azure costs and needed to optimize their infrastructure for compute-intensive analysis. They required a cloud migration that would reduce costs while maintaining regulatory compliance and ensuring zero downtime for their critical diagnostics platform.
Solution
I led a comprehensive cloud migration from Azure to AWS, redesigning their architecture for cost efficiency and performance:
- Designed microservices architecture optimized for AWS services (ECS, Lambda, RDS)
- Implemented auto-scaling groups that adjust based on compute demand
- Migrated to AWS managed services (RDS, ElastiCache) to reduce operational overhead
- Set up CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Docker for automated deployments
- Implemented comprehensive monitoring with CloudWatch and custom dashboards
- Ensured HIPAA compliance through proper security groups and encryption
- Created disaster recovery and backup strategies for data protection
Results
The migration resulted in a 40% reduction in cloud infrastructure costs while achieving 99.9% uptime. The new architecture handles 100K+ daily API requests with sub-second response times for real-time analysis pipelines. The zero-downtime migration ensured continuous operation of the critical diagnostics platform.
Technologies Used
Legacy to Serverless Infrastructure
Challenge
A client through BairesDev had legacy systems running on traditional infrastructure with high maintenance costs and limited scalability. They needed to modernize to a serverless architecture that would reduce costs, improve scalability, and eliminate server management overhead.
Solution
I modernized the legacy systems to AWS serverless infrastructure:
- Migrated monolithic applications to AWS Lambda functions
- Replaced traditional databases with DynamoDB for serverless data storage
- Implemented API Gateway for serverless API endpoints
- Set up S3 for static assets and file storage
- Configured CloudFront CDN for global content delivery
- Implemented Infrastructure as Code using CloudFormation
- Set up automated CI/CD pipelines for serverless deployments
Results
The migration to serverless infrastructure resulted in a 40% reduction in infrastructure costs. The system now scales automatically based on demand, eliminating the need for server management and reducing operational overhead. The pay-per-use model ensures costs align with actual usage.
Technologies Used
Kubernetes Multi-Environment Deployment
Challenge
OneTrust needed Kubernetes-based client tools that could be deployed in various environments, including air-gapped networks with no internet connectivity. The solution needed to work across different infrastructure setups while maintaining consistency and reliability.
Solution
I designed and implemented a flexible Kubernetes deployment solution:
- Created containerized applications with all dependencies bundled
- Designed Helm charts for consistent deployment across environments
- Implemented offline image registry support for air-gapped networks
- Set up multi-environment configuration management (dev, staging, prod)
- Created deployment documentation and runbooks for each environment type
- Implemented health checks and monitoring for all deployment scenarios
- Designed backup and disaster recovery procedures for each environment
Results
The Kubernetes-based solution successfully supports deployments across standard cloud environments, on-premises infrastructure, and air-gapped networks. The consistent deployment process ensures reliability regardless of the target environment, enabling OneTrust to serve clients with diverse infrastructure requirements.
