Near-Continuous Availability
Dynamic Traffic-Based Scaling
Strong Auditing & Compliance
GeneSpectrum Life Sciences needed a cost-optimized and scalable AWS hosting solution that could balance high availability with economic efficiency. The main challenge was ensuring the application server ran only during active user demand, while providing a seamless experience during idle times and maintaining continuous availability through automated failover and on-demand EC2 management.
• On-demand Amazon EC2 instances start and stop automatically using AWS Lambda and Amazon CloudWatch.
• Amazon Route 53 failover directs traffic to an Amazon S3 landing page for continuous availability.
• Amazon API Gateway triggers EC2 startup for user requests with a loader page.
• Secure network with custom Amazon VPC and Security Groups.
• Amazon CloudWatch monitors performance and AWS CloudTrail handles auditing.
Achieved 99.99% availability, reduced costs with on-demand EC2, enabled dynamic scaling, enhanced monitoring and auditing, and ensured secure, resilient AWS hosting.
