Case Study: govCMS modernizes Australian government hosting with amazee.io's fully open source platform

Building the next generation of GovCMS with Salsa Digital

The Australian Government's GovCMS platform required a replacement for its proprietary hosting infrastructure, seeking a fully open source solution that prioritized transparency, security, and long-term control. The existing environment was insufficient in scalability and limited developer autonomy. Vendor amazee.io, in partnership with Salsa Digital, was engaged to address this challenge.

amazee.io re-architected the hosting platform using Lagoon and Kubernetes within a secure government AWS tenancy. The solution delivered a resilient, IRAP-compliant environment that now powers over 310 sites. The measurable results include modernized workflows for over 200 developers and the proven ability to handle 1.96 billion hits in a single month without any downtime.
