Full-Stack Infrastructure & Frontend Modernization
Confidential Client • SaaS Platform • Ongoing
Challenge
Unstable Elastic Beanstalk infrastructure led to frequent crashes, manual deployments, and inefficient resource use. The React codebase had diverged across multiple applications, slowing development and complicating maintenance.
Solution
- Migrated from Elastic Beanstalk to AWS ECS (Fargate) for stability and auto-scaling
- Built branch-based CI/CD pipelines with AWS Amplify for reliable, automated releases
- Secured infrastructure with VPN-only access, private subnets, and centralized controls
- Modernized front-end: migrated legacy React/Vite apps to Next.js using Redux + RTK Query for unified architecture
- Managed Facebook Data Protection Assessment (DPA) compliance and internal audits
- Deployed CloudFront with geolocation routing for improved global performance
Results
- $60,000+ annual AWS savings
- Stable, scalable infrastructure (ECS + Fargate)
- Consistent, modernized front-end stack
- Stronger security posture with segmented access
- Facebook Data Protection Assessment (DPA) audits passed
