Case Study: Mass General Brigham accelerates medical research platform performance with Proxet

Mass General Brigham accelerates medical research platform performance with Proxet

Mass General Brigham, a leading biomedical research organization, faced significant challenges with its monolithic Insight Research Portal. The complex system, hindered by intricate co-dependencies and a brittle architecture, resulted in protracted release cycles and required enormous engineering effort for even minor enhancements. The organization partnered with Proxet to re-engineer the platform and address these critical issues.

Proxet implemented a comprehensive solution by re-architecting the application into microservices, migrating it to a cloud-native infrastructure on Azure, and introducing Agile methodology. This technical modernization drastically improved performance and scalability. The results were substantial, including a 20x improvement in system startup time, a 7x increase in scale, and a 10x growth in platform users to 150,000 active users. Proxet's work enabled Mass General Brigham to successfully transform its portal into a robust and scalable research tool.
