SAP HANA Enterprise Migration to AWS

AWSSAP HANAMigrationTransit GatewayTerraform

The problem

A multinational financial services firm needed to migrate their mission-critical SAP HANA environment to AWS to improve scalability, reduce costs, and enhance disaster recovery — with zero tolerance for downtime.

My approach

Designed a comprehensive migration strategy including AWS Transit Gateway architecture for secure multi-region connectivity, multi-AZ deployment for high availability, Terraform-based Infrastructure as Code for environment standardisation, and a zero-downtime cutover using AWS Database Migration Service.

Outcome

40% infrastructure cost reduction. 35% faster transaction processing. 99.99% uptime post-migration. Completed ahead of schedule with zero business disruption.

Infrastructure as Code Implementation

TerraformIaCAWSCI/CD

The problem

A scale-up was manually provisioning AWS infrastructure across 20+ environments, causing configuration drift, inconsistent environments, and slow, error-prone releases.

My approach

Developed comprehensive Terraform modules for standardised AWS infrastructure deployment. Implemented remote state in S3 with DynamoDB locking, created workspace-based environment separation, and integrated IaC into the CI/CD pipeline for automated provisioning.

Outcome

40% reduction in provisioning time. Full environment parity across dev, staging, and production. All changes tracked in version control via pull requests.

The problem

A multi-tier enterprise application needed a complete security overhaul to meet strict compliance requirements and pass an upcoming regulatory audit.

My approach

Architected and implemented a comprehensive Zero Trust security model using AWS IAM with least-privilege role design, Security Groups, NACLs, and AWS Control Tower. Implemented continuous compliance monitoring and automated remediation for policy violations.

Outcome

Full compliance achieved. All audit findings resolved. Continuous monitoring in place with automated alerting for policy violations.

Containerised Microservices Platform

DockerECSMicroservicesCI/CDBlue-Green

The problem

An e-commerce platform needed to decompose a monolithic application and modernise deployments to handle seasonal traffic spikes and accelerate feature delivery.

My approach

Designed and implemented containerised microservices architecture using Docker and AWS ECS. Built automated CI/CD pipelines with blue-green deployments, automated testing integration, and comprehensive monitoring with CloudWatch.

Outcome

95% reduction in deployment time. Release frequency increased from monthly to multiple times daily. Handled Black Friday traffic (400% of normal load) with zero downtime.

Database Migration: Oracle to Amazon RDS

RDSPostgreSQLDatabase MigrationHigh AvailabilityDMS

The problem

A company running aging on-premises Oracle databases needed to migrate to a managed cloud solution with improved performance, high availability, and reduced licensing costs.

My approach

Used AWS Database Migration Service for a near-zero-downtime migration to Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. Implemented Multi-AZ architecture with read replicas, automated backups, and performance monitoring dashboards.

Outcome

Migration completed with under 10 minutes of planned maintenance. Significant Oracle licensing cost eliminated. Read performance improved with replica offloading.

AWS Multi-Account Architecture

AWS OrganizationsControl TowerTransit GatewayMulti-Account

The problem

A growing enterprise had all workloads in a single AWS account with no environment separation, creating security risk, cost visibility problems, and compliance gaps.

My approach

Designed and implemented a multi-account AWS architecture using AWS Organizations, Control Tower for governance, and Transit Gateway for secure inter-account connectivity. Built a Landing Zone with guardrails and automated account vending.

Outcome

Full workload isolation between environments. Centralised security and compliance monitoring. Per-team cost visibility via account-level billing.

CI/CD Pipeline Modernisation

CodePipelineCI/CDDevOpsAutomationCodeBuild

The problem

A development team was using legacy, manual deployment processes that took days to complete, with no automated testing and frequent rollback failures causing production outages.

My approach

Transformed legacy deployment processes into a modern CI/CD pipeline using AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy. Added automated unit and integration tests, environment promotion gates, and Slack notifications for deployment events.

Outcome

Deployment time reduced from days to minutes. Zero failed production deployments in the 3 months following launch. Developer confidence in shipping dramatically improved.

Cost Optimisation & Resource Management

Cost OptimisationAWS BudgetsReserved InstancesAutomation

The problem

A SaaS company had no cost governance, accumulating unused resources across accounts, and no visibility into per-service spend — with a rapidly growing cloud bill.

My approach

Implemented a comprehensive cost optimisation strategy including resource right-sizing across EC2 and RDS, Reserved Instances and Savings Plans purchase strategy, automated EC2 start/stop schedules for non-production environments, and per-team cost tagging with AWS Budgets alerting.

Outcome

25% reduction in monthly AWS spend within 30 days. Cost anomaly alerting in place to prevent future drift.

Cross-Region Disaster Recovery

Disaster RecoveryMulti-RegionHigh AvailabilityRoute 53Backup

The problem

A financial services client had zero disaster recovery capability. A single regional AWS outage would bring down all services with no tested recovery path.

My approach

Designed and implemented a cross-region DR solution with automated failover using Route 53 health checks, cross-region RDS replication, S3 cross-region replication, and a full DR runbook. Scheduled and executed quarterly failover tests.

Outcome

RPO of 15 minutes and RTO of 1 hour achieved for all critical systems. First successful failover test completed within project timeline.
