Customer Challenge
OpenWallet encountered critical infrastructure and operational barriers that slowed growth and increased risk.
- Limited scalability and flexibility: Running workloads on Indian Railways infrastructure constrained performance and made it difficult to adapt to changing demands.
- Manual management of stateful services: Databases and messaging systems such as MongoDB, Redis, and RabbitMQ were managed manually, adding complexity and operational risk.
- No centralized observability: Logs, metrics, and traces were fragmented across systems, making it hard to track issues or measure performance effectively.
- Unstructured access control: Permissions were inconsistent and insecure across environments, creating governance challenges.
- Lack of real-time compliance monitoring: Cloud threats and compliance gaps were not tracked continuously, leaving the environment exposed.
These gaps made it difficult for OpenWallet to scale reliably, safeguard sensitive workloads, and maintain compliance, highlighting the need for a unified and automated platform approach.
Solution
Infra360 designed and implemented a modern AWS environment to address OpenWallet’s infrastructure, observability, and security challenges.
- Cloud migration to AWS: Staging and production environments were migrated from Indian Railways’ infrastructure to AWS, creating a scalable and reliable foundation for growth.
- Application and job setup: Workers, cron jobs, RabbitMQ, Redis, and MongoDB were deployed in AWS, ensuring resilient operations and streamlined management of stateful services.
- Centralized observability: Unified logging, monitoring, and distributed tracing were introduced to provide full visibility into application performance and system health.
- Secure access management: Teleport was configured to control access to AWS infrastructure and services, enforcing identity-based permissions with stronger governance.
- Continuous compliance and threat detection: AWS Config, Security Hub, and GuardDuty were integrated to monitor compliance baselines and detect potential threats in real time.
This architecture gave OpenWallet a scalable cloud platform with unified observability, stronger security controls, and automated compliance monitoring, positioning the company for sustainable growth and operational resilience.
