Electrum

About the Customer

Electrum Payments provides enterprise software that represents the next generation of payments technology. Major retailers and financial institutions use Electrum’s technology to accept payments, process financial transactions and provide value-added services.

The Challenge

Electrum Payments needed a deployment mechanism to quickly deploy their AWS infrastructures for each of their clients using their SaaS solution.

The Solution

Silicon Overdrive met with Electrum’s team and architected a solution based on AWS best practices to accommodate their customers’ needs and meet their own compliance requirements.

We rearchitected the website, application and database tiers of the environment with the focus on automation. Terraform was used for Infrastructure as Code so that changes could be versioned and Electrum’s new customer environments could be deployed on demand. AWS Config is used to detect configuration drift; and combined with the version history of the IaaS it delivers complete documentation of their environment fulfilling their requirements for ISO 27001 compliance.

Thanks to the DevOps methodologies employed, EC2 instances and the RDS are deployed in high availability. AWS Lambda functions integrate key processes without provisioning or managing servers.

DevOps services used: VPC, IAM, EC2, RDS, S3, ELB, AWS VPN, Lambda, AWS Backup, NAT Gateway, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, Config, Trusted Advisor, Certificate Manager
Third-party apps used: Terraform and Ansible
Project Manager: Charlton Daniels

The Outcome

By establishing secure, automated deployments, Electrum can now scale their operations, allowing for the faster onboarding of new customers while meeting their security and ISO 27001 compliance requirements by ensuring that all deployments and infrastructures use the same base architecture and configuration.

Lessons Learned

DevOps helps customers achieve speed and agility. Furthermore automating migrations and deployments provides customers with consistent and increased assurance. Configuration can be standardized and drift detected. By bringing security into the DevOps process from the beginning, customers can save money and more consistently meet deadlines.
