Case Study: Homesearch achieves scalable cloud migration and 98% faster search with Devoteam and AWS

Homesearch boosts search performance by 98% with Devoteam

Homesearch, a leading UK provider of property data, faced significant infrastructure challenges that hindered its growth. Its on-premises systems could not scale to meet user demand, data builds took months to complete, and manual processes created security and business continuity risks. Devoteam worked with Homesearch to articulate the benefits of migrating to Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Devoteam leveraged the AWS Migration Accelerator Program to migrate and modernize Homesearch's environment. The solution involved moving applications to S3 and CloudFront, containerizing backend services on ECS, and migrating data to OpenSearch. This resulted in a 98% improvement in search performance, fully automated deployments, and a drastically reduced recovery time. The optimized data build process was cut from two months to under six weeks.
