Challenges faced by the Client

The major challenge our client faced was, they did not have a system or solution that would enable them to scale and have automated guardrails for Security, Disaster Recovery, Failover and follow AWS best practices. They also could not streamline the existing CI/CD pipeline. Another major barrier they had was the limited expertise in AWS, (their existing platform), AWS Services or automation.
