Case Study: Solinor achieves 90% faster infrastructure setup and simplified PCI DSS compliance with Amazon Web Services

Solinor - Customer Case Study

Solinor is a Helsinki-based pioneer in card-payment services whose SaaS product, Solinor Payment Highway, must meet strict PCI DSS requirements. The company struggled with costly, time-consuming physical hardware—long setup times, difficult scaling during peak traffic, frequent service interruptions, and heavy compliance overhead—so it needed a secure, highly available, and scalable infrastructure that would reduce costs and speed time to market.

Solinor migrated its platform to AWS, using EC2 with Elastic Load Balancing and Auto Scaling, Lambda, CloudWatch, S3, RDS, Route 53, IAM, CloudFormation, VPC, and CloudTrail to ensure security, compliance, and automation. The move cut infrastructure setup time by about 90%, offloaded roughly half of the PCI DSS compliance work to AWS, enabled a leaner, full‑stack operations model, delivered significant cost savings versus leased hardware, and produced more resilient, repeatable, and faster deployments—making AWS the company’s default choice for new projects.
