Case Study: Flanders Information Agency achieves scalable, flexible web hosting with amazee.io Lagoon

Hosting & Maintaining a Dedicated State-of-the-Art Web Platform for the Flanders Government

The Flanders Information Agency, the government body for Flanders, Belgium, required a robust and scalable hosting solution for its civic information hub, vlaanderen.be. Their challenge was to meet strict government standards while gaining the flexibility to deploy a broad, modern stack of microservices and the latest web technologies. After finding common cloud providers and in-house options too limiting, they partnered with vendor amazee.io to utilize its open source Lagoon platform.

amazee.io implemented and maintains a dedicated hosting solution built on Lagoon within the client's own AWS account. This provided a modern, git-based deployment process with full containerization, replacing an outdated and inflexible system. The results for the Flanders Information Agency included a significant infrastructure cost reduction, a state-of-the-art system, and smooth, scalable deployments. Developers reported loving the streamlined process, and the platform now offers complete flexibility to run any application that can operate in Docker.
