Case Study: Leading communications provider for Australian schools achieves 25% efficiency gain and lower costs with Datamatics' GCP-to-AWS migration solution

Google Cloud to AWS Cloud Migration Solution for a Leading Communications Provider for Schools in Australia

Leading Communications Provider, a major communications partner for thousands of Australian schools, engaged Datamatics to migrate its platform from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to AWS and to simplify a complex Kubernetes-based stack into AWS Elastic Beanstalk. The client faced missing application documentation, a Go-based authentication module incompatible with AWS, Redis on VMs, and no automated SSL/CDN handling—risks that threatened continuity, increased costs, and prolonged development.

Datamatics executed a phased, modular migration: extracting and refactoring the codebase for Elastic Beanstalk, importing Redis backups into AWS Elasticache, isolating the authentication module as a service for AWS compatibility, and rolling out Cloudflare for automated SSL and CDN. The solution simplified the cloud environment, lowered costs, boosted efficiency by 25%, reduced traffic congestion by 42%, and minimized manual intervention for scalability.
