About
Healthcare startup that connects patients and doctors directly, bypassing insurance companies. Covering 70+ US cities with a network of over half a thousand dentists and physicians, the platform provides access to primary care plans to everyone who needs it, regardless of insurance status. Once launched, the client made the product's reliability and stability a top priority, so needed help with it.
Challenge, approach, and impact
Limited Scalability
Moving from proof of concept to a state of fully launched startup, the client wasn't sure that the platform was ready to cope with the flow of new users. Creating a robust infrastructure to handle the expected traffic surge smoothly became essential.
Lack of Stability
Taking the common startup approach, the client focused on core features rather than on system performance. However, lacking a zero downtime deployment configuration, they faced potential risks with each live platform update or change.
Manual Deployment
Saving resources, the client decided to launch the product with a manually maintained server configuration and deployment process. However, as the team and project grew, managing completely non-automated operations became more and more challenging.
