A healthcare SMB providing a cloud-based platform for vendor credentialing and surgical workflow management partnered with Dualboot Partners to modernize its legacy application on AWS.
The goal was to achieve HIPAA compliance, improve scalability and reliability, and reduce operational overhead while enhancing data security.
The platform enables hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers to manage vendor access, credential verification, and compliance through secure, cloud-based workflows integrated with leading healthcare systems.
The Solution
Dualboot Partners re-engineered the platform as a HIPAA-compliant, containerized microservices architecture on AWS, emphasizing resilience, cost efficiency, and observability.
Architecture Highlights
- Amazon ECS (Fargate): Orchestrates APIs, front-end services, and background jobs with autoscaling and zero EC2 management.
- Amazon RDS (PostgreSQL Multi-AZ): Ensures high-availability transactional storage with encryption at rest and in transit.
- Amazon ElastiCache (Redis): Delivers rapid caching and queuing for credential-validation tasks.
- Amazon SQS: Provides fault-tolerant, ordered messaging for asynchronous vendor-verification workflows.
- Amazon S3: Secure storage for credential and audit documents with AES-256 encryption and lifecycle policies.
- AWS Security Stack (IAM, WAF, KMS, Parameter Store): Implements least-privilege access, intrusion prevention, and encrypted secret management.
- Amazon CloudWatch + Terraform IaC: Enable continuous monitoring, autoscaling, and standardized, auditable deployments.
The result was a fully containerized, secure AWS environment designed to meet HIPAA requirements and deliver predictable performance under variable workloads.
The Impact
The Results
- 99.95 % uptime with fault-tolerant Multi-AZ architecture.
- 70 % faster application response times through autoscaling and Redis caching.
- 60 % reduction in manual credential processing, improving hospital efficiency.
- 50 % faster deployment cycles via CI/CD automation and Infrastructure as Code.
- Verified HIPAA compliance with encryption, access isolation, and audit logging.
- 25 % reduction in infrastructure costs through right-sizing and lifecycle optimization.
Business Impact
The modernization transformed the client’s legacy SaaS product into a scalable, compliant, and secure AWS-native solution.
The company can now serve larger healthcare networks with greater uptime, improved performance, and reduced compliance risk—positioning it for sustained growth in the healthcare technology market.
