  • Easy to deploy new code changes on private repository.
  • Automation for Development Team.

We got in touch with Geeks Solutions as they were managing our infrastructure and we have experienced their expertise in managed IT solutions. They proposed with the following solutions to address all those challenges which we eventually did.

PARTNER SOLUTION

Being an Amazon partner and having 15+ years background as managed service provider in the field of server management, we took our experience along with our AWS expertise to deliver the best.

Geeks Solutions has a track record of building Containerised Orchestration and Kubernetes-based deployments on everything from bare metal to virtualized private datacentres and the cloud.

We suggested and client chose ECS Fargate. AWS Fargate is the best technology to run fintech software in the cloud. With AWS Fargate we do not need to deal with underlying infrastructure, patching of the OS, maintenance etc. that minimises the PCI Compliance burden.
