DGDean provides end-to-end technology and digital project management services to fast growing start-ups.
Challenges:
- Plenty of AWS resources were required for monitoring and auto-healing requests on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.
- Follow-ups were required on the scaling and rapid changes on their respective AWS/Cloud infrastructure.
- DGDean used paid tools for automating auto-healing and backups.
- Lack of communication and protocols for specific escalation scenarios.
Solutions:
