Case Study: Workstar achieves faster, safer Windows app deployments with DNX Solutions on AWS

Modernising a Windows-based application by applying DevOps on AWS

Workstar, an Australian company that creates digital learning solutions, faced challenges with manually deploying its Windows-based web application, a process prone to error and lengthy lead times. They engaged DNX Solutions to modernize their operations and infrastructure on AWS.

DNX Solutions implemented a robust AWS foundation and migrated the application to Elastic Beanstalk on Windows spot instances using Infrastructure as Code. They established a CI/CD pipeline for automated, zero-downtime deployments. This solution reduced manual errors, cut lead times, and significantly lowered costs by leveraging spot instances, which were 70% cheaper than on-demand pricing. The project was completed by DNX in 45 days, providing Workstar with a highly available and secure environment.
