The team faced multiple operational hurdles:

Degrading performance during traffic surges

Manual server management and limited scalability

Fragmented and reactive security controls

Inadequate monitoring and delayed incident response

Difficulty expanding into new markets or regions

Komidaz required a modern, cloud-native infrastructure to ensure seamless scalability, centralized security, cost efficiency, and operational agility. [/norebro_accordion_inner][norebro_accordion_inner title="Section" tab_id="1705296789017-c554191c-58f5" heading="Proposed Solution & Architecture"]

Graaho Technologies, an AWS Select Tier Services Partner, designed and executed an end-to-end AWS migration and modernization strategy for Komidaz. The approach focused on:
Cloud Architecture Highlights:
- Serverless-first model using AWS Lambda for scalable backend logic
- Amazon RDS (PostgreSQL) for managed relational data
- Amazon ElastiCache for caching frequently accessed content
- Amazon API Gateway + Amazon Cognito for secured API management and user authentication
- Amazon SNS & Amazon SES for real-time notifications and email services
- Application Load Balancer & Auto Scaling to handle variable workloads
Security & Governance Enhancements:
- Amazon GuardDuty & Amazon Inspector for real-time threat detection and vulnerability scanning
- AWS Security Hub & AWS Config for centralized compliance management
- AWS CloudTrail for activity logging and auditability
- IAM + VPC Security Groups to enforce least-privilege and network segmentation
DevOps & Observability Stack:
- Fully automated CI/CD pipeline using AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy
- Centralized monitoring and alerting via Amazon CloudWatch

Outcomes of Project & Success Metrics

Key Area	Before Migration	After AWS Migration
Application Performance	Lagged during peak hours	Responsive and scalable with AWS Lambda
Deployment Time	1–2 hours with manual risks	~10 minutes with automated CI/CD pipeline
Server Management	Manual, error-prone	Fully automated with serverless architecture
Security & Compliance	Reactive and siloed	Centralized, continuous, GDPR and SOC 2 aligned
Monitoring	Minimal visibility	Real-time insights with CloudWatch
Infrastructure Costs	Fixed and growing	Optimized, pay-as-you-go model
Database Load	Bottlenecks during spikes	Offloaded with ElastiCache-based caching

Graaho conducted a TCO comparison between the legacy environment and AWS cloud infrastructure. Key results:
- 40%+ reduction in total monthly infrastructure spending
- Zero CapEx due to elimination of physical server maintenance
- Increased developer efficiency with CI/CD automation reducing deployment overhead
- Right-sized architecture avoided overprovisioning while scaling on-demand
The cost savings combined with productivity gains yielded a strong ROI within the first few months post-migration.
