Challenge

The primary business challenge for Elements.cloud was to create a fully-tolerant, secure, GDPR-compliant process visualization and management SaaS product for Fortune 5000 companies that will integrate with Salesforce. The main technical dare was implementing a highly customizable process mapping and visualization web tool with auto-scalable and fully-tolerant backend architecture on AWS.

Solution

We enforced a concept of highly-customizable diagrams with robust version control, applied Redis software for locking certain parts of data, created different security groups for different application layers, and installed appropriate instance types for various services. Also, we executed a shift from EC2 instance to partial serverless architecture, using AWS Lambda. Due to this transition, we made Elements solutions more cost-efficient with a lower need for infrastructure support.
