How Do We Build Business-Critical Architectures on AWS?
In a world where digital products are rapidly expanding and system uptime is increasingly expected, a well-structured cloud architecture is essential. At Touch4IT, we develop software solutions for a diverse range of industries, including healthcare and logistics. For business-critical systems, we depend on the power and adaptability of the AWS platform.
Tailored Design: No Templates, But Clear Principles
Every project begins with an in-depth analysis of its software requirements. Based on those, we determine the most suitable type of architecture. We don’t follow pre-defined templates, but rather align our decisions with the AWS Well-Architected framework, which emphasizes security, reliability, performance efficiency, and sustainability.
This approach provides us with the flexibility to adapt to each project's unique needs, which is vital when creating systems that must run with high availability and resilience.
Our Go-to AWS Services
Some of the AWS services we use most frequently include:
- EC2 – for computing power and full control over instances
- S3 – for scalable object storage
- ECS and EKS – for container orchestration
- CloudWatch – for monitoring and alerting
- VPC – for secure, isolated network environments
- CloudFront – for fast content delivery with low latency
We combine these tools based on project needs, always striking a balance between performance, cost, and long-term maintainability.
Security, Scalability, and Availability by Design
We always design solutions to be both horizontally and vertically scalable when needed. This ensures that our systems can adapt to demand while maintaining smooth, uninterrupted operation.
For projects involving regulatory compliance or handling sensitive data, we implement architectures that provide high auditability and compatibility with frameworks like SOC, NIST, or HIPAA.
Individual Solutions Powered by Terraform
Although we don’t rely on pre-made architecture templates, we do use Terraform to manage infrastructure as code. This enables us to create modular, reusable infrastructure configurations that can be rapidly deployed across various environments or repurposed for other projects.
Our Advantage: Precision, Foresight, and Fast Delivery
What sets us apart from other cloud vendors is our deep focus on aligning the architecture with the project's real needs. Thanks to our in-house software platform and experienced team, we’re able to anticipate infrastructure requirements and deliver stable, production-ready solutions in short timeframes.
We’re prepared to manage complex scenarios where high availability, scalability, and security are essential, not optional.
Conclusion
Modern applications require more than just efficient code; they need a strong, flexible, and secure foundation. That’s why we design every AWS architecture with real-world needs, long-term stability, and future growth in mind. And that’s the true value of a well-architected AWS solution.
