Discover how we helped a global fitness center migrate a business‑critical online enrollment application to AWS for improved stability and reliability.
Client Overview
Global Fitness Center is an internationally recognized health and wellness brand dedicated to helping individuals achieve their fitness goals. With hundreds of locations around the world, it offers cutting-edge equipment, expert personal training, group fitness classes, and digital workout solutions. The organization serves a broad community, ranging from first-time gym-goers to elite athletes.
Challenge
Global Fitness Center needed to ensure the continuous availability and performance of its core customer acquisition platform while migrating to AWS.
- Critical Application Focus: The client's "Join on-line" application is crucial as it allows users to purchase gym memberships and is vital for bringing in new clients.
- Migration Requirement: The company sought to migrate this business-critical application from a previous cloud provider to AWS.
- Core Goal: The primary objective of the migration was to make the application more stable and reliable.
Solution & Architecture
The migration focused on establishing a secure, well-governed foundation for the application on AWS.
- Account Governance and Security: The solution included providing the global fitness center with a best-practice setup of AWS accounts and their security. This utilized AWS Control Tower to implement organizational guardrails and leverage AWS SSO mechanisms for unified access management.
- Platform Re-hosting Insight: Another version of WordPress, which included custom integrations, was re-hosted on AWS.
Results
The project established a stable foundation for the critical workload and enabled continuous cost oversight.
- Success Metric: The primary success metric involved providing the global fitness center with a best-practice setup for AWS accounts and security.
- Optimized Compute Utilization: By utilizing AWS Lambda, the code can now be run without provisioning or managing servers. This also created workload-aware cluster scaling logic to maintain event integrations or manage runtimes.
TCO Analysis & Cost Management
- Continuous Monitoring: Periodic Cost calculators are managed via Caylent’s 24/7 monitoring service.
- Optimization Reporting: AWS Billing metrics are used to determine if any resources need to be descoped or lowered.
Key Takeaway
Leveraging Serverless for Scalability: By adopting AWS Lambda, the client achieved a solution where code runs without the need for manual server provisioning or management, allowing for workload-aware cluster scaling.
