apser proposed a platform with a clear division between development and production environments. In addition, each platform would consist of separate servers (frontend+backend) to decouple the presentation and business layers.

In the development environment, EC2 instances of the T family were used that are switched off outside working hours, while in the production environment, M-type instances with higher resources were deployed.

Additionally, the client domains were migrated to Amazon Route53 to integrate it with Amazon Cloudfront, in order to improve the loading times of the application, and with Amazon Web Application Firewall (WAF,) to protect the web frontend.

Finally, the backup and compliance policies were revised, given that it operates in an environment regulated by financial institutions, and a new policy forbackup and restoration of the platform against contingencies was defined.
