Challenge

The company’s core databases and business applications ran on individual Amazon EC2 instances without sufficient redundancy or recovery provisions. Manually configured AWS infrastructure also complicated maintenance and limited the company’s ability to scale.

Solution

AWS Database Migration

Toptal migrated the company’s critical databases from Amazon EC2 to Amazon RDS, using incremental backups and scheduled migration windows to introduce managed database capabilities, redundancy, and improved recovery options.

Infrastructure as Code

Toptal implemented Terraform to replace manually configured AWS resources with documented, repeatable infrastructure configurations, simplifying change management and enabling future engineers to maintain and expand the environment.

Outcome

Migration Without Transaction Loss

The database migration was completed successfully within a planned maintenance window, with no reported transaction loss, preserving the integrity of the company’s payment operations.

Improved Reliability and Scalability

Amazon RDS backups and redundancy reduced the risks associated with single-instance database hosting, while Terraform established a more maintainable infrastructure foundation to support future growth and increased transaction volumes.
