Sanjay Khinvasara, EVP & Chief Engineering Officer of Nokē, said of the project, “We moved our entire customer base to AWS to take advantage of the stability and functionality of the world’s leading cloud provider. As part of this transition, we optimized the application code and implemented additional network monitoring and diagnostics. This migration, along with our commitment to future improvements, provides our customers with improved cloud connectivity, performance, operations, and quality assurance benefits.”

Since completing this complex migration to AWS, the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud computing platform, Nokē has seen processing times drop to half for almost all functions and across-the-board improvement. This significant achievement is largely due to the redesign of the database structure, code improvements, and inherent architecture improvements provided by AWS.
