Scalable Cloud Migration for Personalized Diabetes Care Platform

A global MedTech leader providing diabetes care solutions sought to improve the scalability and reliability of its hypercare platform. This platform plays a critical role in onboarding, monitoring, and delivering personalized services to diabetes patients while processing terabytes of data daily from connected insulin pumps, caregivers, and business systems. The legacy on-premises infrastructure struggled to keep pace with rapid data growth and rising patient volumes, creating risks for downtime and delayed insights. To address these challenges, the client partnered with Zimetrics to migrate the platform to a modern, cloud-native AWS architecture.

Challenges

Scalability Limitations: On-prem infrastructure could not handle 22,000+ daily uploads from IoT devices, patient portals, and business data sources like Salesforce and SAP, leading to frequent slowdowns.

Data Flow Management: Efficiently processing terabytes of heterogeneous data while maintaining throughput and concurrency (up to 1,000 concurrent Lambda executions) was difficult.

Interoperability Issues: Multiple data sources like medical devices, patient engagement apps, and enterprise systems

Compliance & Security: Required strict privacy controls to protect PII and PHI while ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations.

Solution

Zimetrics designed and executed a phased migration and modernization strategy to transition the client’s hypercare platform from its legacy on-premises environment to a scalable AWS Cloud infrastructure.

Migration Strategy

  • Extracted and loaded data using ETL jobs and AWS Lambda scripts, achieving 230 Lambda executions in 15 minutes.
  • First Migration (April 2024), Migrated data from on-prem Oracle schemas to AWS Oracle RDS,
  • Second Migration (August 2025) migrated an AWS Oracle database to a PostgreSQL database using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) and the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT). Built automated failure handling and recovery mechanisms.
  • Introduced data quality verification pipelines to ensure migrated data integrity.
  • Implemented masking for PII and PHI data to meet compliance requirements.


AWS Cloud Infrastructure Setup
Refactored backend services to leverage AWS-native components:

  • Amazon S3 for ingestion and data lake storage.
  • PostgreSQL for Analytical and Complex Workloads
  • Amazon ECS on Fargate for microservices containerization.
  • Amazon SQS & SNS for decoupled event-driven processing.
  • Amazon CloudWatch for real-time monitoring and alerting.
  • AWS API Gateway for secure API exposure to external systems.

Modernization of Workloads
Decomposed monolithic applications into containerized microservices:

  • Set up Blue- green deployment strategies for seamless production rollouts.
  • Dual-Write Strategy for data consistency
  • Integrated GitHub, JFrog, Jenkins pipeline, AWS CodeBuild, CodePipeline, Cloud Formation into a DevOps-driven CI/CD pipeline.
  • Work In Progress: GitHub is in process to migrate to GitActions

Data Observability & Insights

  • Integrated Amazon OpenSearch for real-time analytics and search.
  • Developed data pipelines for therapy performance, patient engagement, and churn analytics.

Tech Stack:

  • Data pipelines: AWS Lambda, S3, PostgreSQL
  • Microservices: Amazon ECS (Fargate), Auto Scaling Groups, EFS/S3
  • APIs & Integration: AWS API Gateway, Amazon EventBridge, Amazon SQS, SNS
  • CI/CD: GitHub, JFrog, AWS CodeBuild, CodePipeline, Jenkins pipeline, CloudFormation
  • Monitoring: Amazon CloudWatch, CloudTrail Logs, Errors log
  • Analytics: Amazon OpenSearch, ELK – Kibana tool

Impact Generated

Migrated 19,000 B2B customers and 200K B2C patients without service disruption.
Enabled 57 million transactions per day with optimized cloud infrastructure.
Achieved 99.99% operational resiliency through multi-zone deployments and an active-active disaster recovery plan.
Leveraged AWS auto-scaling, serverless infrastructure, and storage tiering for operational cost efficiency

The technology consistently delivered on its promises.

Earlier this year, I partnered with Zimetrics to integrate AI automation into our document review process for our car subscription service. I wholeheartedly endorse both Zimetrics, the Zimetrics team, and their top-tier tech. Our challenge was two-fold: 1. We needed AI to streamline our document processing for customer applications. 2. We wanted to enhance our digital customer experience. Zimetrics' 8Nap AI platform was the answer. The technology consistently delivered on its promises. The model training process, which often can be complex and intricate, was remarkably straightforward. The AI quickly adapted to the diverse documents we handle, maintaining high accuracy. Surprisingly, even with a modest set of example documents, we accomplished a thorough model training. The integration process was smooth, and the platform allowed for quick customizations to fit our specific needs, all while upholding strict security and compliance standards. Special credit goes to the Zimetrics team. Their expertise and professionalism shone through from day one. But it was their dedication to our needs that truly stood out. They ensured open communication, clear planning, and consistently met our timelines. In summary, I strongly recommend Zimetrics and their 8Nap AI platform. Their technology is impressive, and their team is a valuable partner to any business. I eagerly look forward to further incorporate their AI-powered automation technology into all our document-centric processes.
