Overview
Executive summary
QuriousCode is a fast-growing software development company building scalable applications across industries. It needed a development environment in a separate AWS account that replicated its production architecture. Core5, an AWS Partner, designed a scalable and secure environment on AWS.
The challenge
What they were up against
- Needed a development environment in a separate AWS account that replicated production.
- Risk of inconsistent performance between environments.
- Security vulnerabilities during development and delays in testing.
- Needed smooth developer workflow integration and the ability to handle high traffic during testing.
Our solution
How Core5 approached it
- Provisioned a VPC in the AWS Mumbai region with EC2 and RDS across multiple Availability Zones for high availability.
- Used AWS Auto Scaling to match compute to demand and absorb testing spikes.
- Hardened access with AWS WAF and IAM policies, with Route 53 managing domain traffic.
- Stored static assets in Amazon S3 for staging and production.
- Integrated developer access into QuriousCode's existing workflow to speed up collaboration and deployments.
