Case Study: rplan achieves over 99% availability and 30–40% cost savings with Amazon Web Services

rplan - Customer Case Study

rplan is a UK financial‑technology company that builds online portfolio analysis and trading tools for retail investors and SaaS customers. The founders needed a hosting solution that delivered enterprise‑level security, availability and scalability without large upfront investment, specialist hardware skills, or vendor lock‑in—requirements that made traditional hosting impractical.

rplan implemented its infrastructure on Amazon Web Services, using an Amazon VPC across three Availability Zones with ELB/Route 53, PIOPS for OLTP, CloudFront, RDS and SES, and automated APIs for rapid environment provisioning. The move enabled environment creation in under an hour, faster client onboarding and penetration‑testing, elastic capacity for seasonal peaks, >99% availability, a 30–40% reduction in hosting costs and about a 30% cut in infrastructure support time.
