Executive Summary
ResQ247’s legacy cPanel hosting environment created performance constraints, limited scalability, and lacked compatibility for their modern Python backend and React frontend. We migrated their entire platform to AWS using a containerized backend, globally distributed frontend hosting, and a fully managed scalable database. The transition delivered faster performance, improved reliability, and a much more efficient deployment workflow that aligns with the company’s growth plans.
The Challenge
ResQ247’s existing cPanel setup lacked the flexibility and performance needed for a modern, rapidly evolving health-tech platform. Key challenges included:
Limited Server Resources
Performance issues caused by restricted resources in the existing cPanel setup.
Python Compatibility Challenges
Difficulty running and managing a Python backend efficiently on cPanel.
Manual Deployments
Slow and error-prone deployment process with no automation.
Scaling Limitations
Infrastructure not designed to handle growing traffic and operations.
Lack of Monitoring & Reliability
Limited visibility, fault tolerance, and system reliability.
Our Approach & Solution
- Containerizing the Backend
- Converted the Python backend into Dockerized services
- Ensured clean separation of components for easier maintenance
- Enabled consistent deployments across environments
- Deploying Backend on AWS
- Deployed the containers on a scalable AWS setup (EC2/ECS depending on client preference and budget)
- Configured secure networking and access policies
- Implemented environment variables and secrets handling for better security
- Global Hosting for React Frontend
- Hosted the React frontend on AWS S3 + CloudFront CDN
- Achieved global distribution with significantly reduced page load times
- Enabled smooth version rollouts and caching control
- Migrating the Database
- Moved the database from cPanel to a fully managed AWS database service
- Ensured minimal downtime during migration
- Set up automated backups, monitoring, and performance tuning
- Performance Optimization & Monitoring
- Tuned both the frontend and backend for speed and stability
- Added monitoring and logging for proactive issue detection
- Ensured the system can scale seamlessly as user demand increases
