Case Study: govCMS modernizes open-source government hosting with amazee.io

govCMS scales 310+ sites with Amazee Group

The customer, GovCMS, the Australian Government's centralized Drupal-based platform, faced challenges with its proprietary hosting, which limited scalability and developer autonomy. They engaged the vendor Amazee Group, along with Salsa Digital, to implement a fully open source solution using the Lagoon and Kubernetes hosting infrastructure to achieve greater transparency and control.

Amazee Group re-architected the hosting platform within a secure government AWS tenancy, creating a resilient and IRAP-compliant environment. The solution successfully powers over 310 sites, improved workflows for 200+ developers, and proved its scalability by handling 1.96 billion hits in a single month without any downtime.
