The Challenge

The client struggled with managing security, compliance, and manual deployments across a complex AWS setup.

• AWS Backup automated daily backups; PROD stored in Hyderabad DR.
• Amazon CloudWatch & Amazon SNS monitored performance with alerts.
• Amazon EventBridge & AWS Lambda automated server schedules to cut costs.
