Background
Charge Health is a mobile app designed to help nurses and caregivers connect with the purpose behind their work. The app fosters a culture of belonging, engagement, and joy, providing a simple way to connect with a wider healthcare community. In preparation for its go-live day, Charge Health needed a robust, scalable, and efficient digital infrastructure to support its serverless framework, which includes an API Gateway, AWS Lambda functions, S3 storage, and DynamoDB.
The Challenge
The main challenge was to ensure that Charge Health’s serverless infrastructure could handle a significant increase in user traffic on go-live day. This required a comprehensive review of the entire stack, including optimizing AWS Lambda function concurrency, minimizing warm and cold starts, setting up effective caching for S3 via CloudFront, and tuning DynamoDB for efficient operations. Charge Health also needed to maintain strict security and performance standards throughout its infrastructure.
Our Solution
We conducted an in-depth review of Charge Health’s serverless framework, analyzing and optimizing key aspects of its AWS stack:
The Result
Charge Health’s infrastructure is now ready and capable of handling go-live day traffic and beyond.
With its optimized serverless framework, Charge Health is well-positioned to scale up and deliver its mission of fostering engagement and joy within the healthcare community.
Here’s a testimonial from the company’s COO, Zach Silverzweig:
“Rambunct was extremely ready to dive into our challenges and provided some excellent feedback for us. He has a deep knowledge of the AWS serverless stack, inclusive of security, networking, performance, and cost optimization. Definitely excited to work with him in the future as we continue to scale up.”
The new system has led to the following results:
