Case Study: Perx Health achieves HIPAA-compliant global AWS deployments with DNX Solutions

Automated global deployments on AWS with HIPAA Best Practices

Perx Health, a company pioneering a motivational health community for people with chronic conditions, was already running on AWS but needed to implement a multi-region automated deployment strategy in a HIPAA compliant way. Their business challenge was to move from higher-level services to gain more operational control without adding infrastructure overhead, all while ensuring the highest security for patient data and identifying cost reduction opportunities. To accomplish this, they engaged DNX Solutions.

DNX Solutions implemented a container-based orchestration solution using Amazon ECS, managed with Terraform as Infrastructure as Code. They deployed their secure DNX.One foundation, established robust security controls including secure VPN access and vulnerability scanning for Docker images, and automated CI/CD pipelines for zero-downtime deployments. The results for Perx Health were a resilient, secure, and reliable global platform that is fully HIPAA compliant. DNX Solutions' use of spot instances generated an average of 50% cost reduction, and the modernized platform allows Perx Health to test and release new features to the market faster.
