Results & Benefits

The Value of Our Customized and Well-Architected Solutions

Our team of experts successfully addressed all of Room to Read’s challenges, resulting in numerous benefits.

The latency of Room to Read’s applications was reduced by migrating the PostgreSQL DB to Amazon Aurora DB clusters, which provides faster throughput. Amazon S3 buckets are utilized for storing their application’s static objects which provide low latency and high throughput performance. Amazon EFS volumes are integrated with Amazon ECS to provide persistent storage of containerized applications.

Cloudelligent replicated Amazon Aurora DB clusters in a different Region for fast recovery and improved data availability. Aurora automatically backs up cluster volumes and retains restore data for the backup retention period. Continuous and incremental backups allow restoring data up to the latest 5 minutes of activity. Amazon EFS provides elastic and scalable storage for their applications.

We conducted a detailed analysis of Room to Read’s existing AWS environment. Our team was able to right-size AWS resources that were either being underutilized or overutilized compared to what was required. We also terminated all the zombie assets. This helped Room to Read reduce up to 40% of their overall costs on their AWS monthly bill.
