Case Study: Halodoc achieves 30% faster time-to-market with Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Halodoc Reduces Time-to-Market by 30% Using AWS

Halodoc is an Indonesian health‑tech startup that connects patients with doctors and pharmacies via a mobile app. Rapid user growth (from ~100K to nearly 600K in six months) and frequent feature releases exposed limitations in a mixed hosting setup (Rackspace, DigitalOcean, some AWS): the DevOps team spent 20–30% of its time firefighting performance issues and tuning releases, and the company needed to guarantee low teleconsultation latency to meet customer expectations.

Halodoc migrated more than 90% of workloads to AWS—using EC2 with Auto Scaling (Reserved/On‑Demand/Spot), RDS, S3, CloudFront, Route 53 and Lambda—automating deployment, scaling, backups and monitoring. The move improved availability and data durability, cut routine server work dramatically, delivered roughly 20–30% cost savings from Reserved Instances, sped time‑to‑market by about 30%, and supported rapid user growth (500% in six months) while enabling faster CI/CD and ongoing optimization.
