A successful collaboration to overcome the Cloud Migration challenge

To migrate Exom's microservice web application, which is the core of the Genius SuiteTM platform for managing clinical trials, on AWS, Exom started a collaboration with Storm Reply.

The real challenge consisted of working closely to exploit and optimize the Kubernetes framework to draw up development and production environments that could effectively support Exom developers in their everyday activities.

The success, achieved through close collaboration between the teams and Storm Reply's experience, an Amazon Premier Consulting Partner since 2014, came in the phases of building the infrastructure and Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) processes, using very innovative technologies and paradigms.

The infrastructure is monitored h24x7, exploiting Amazon CloudWatch, which collects either more traditional EC2 server KPIs and those of the container framework on Amazon EKS. In addition, it integrates with a dedicated service to system log collection. The monitoring system is connected with one of our most advanced Incident Response services, PagerDuty, and overviewed by the Storm Reply DevOps team.

The development Pipeline configuration, exploiting the AWS CodePipeline service, has led to the definition of a fluid process, aimed at ensuring, to Exom development team, the possibility to manage autonomously pipeline application releases. Last but not least, the Exom platform has been configured, developed and maintained thanks to the utilization of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) paradigms.
