Problem
Healthcare companies work daily with massive volumes of sensitive patient data and transactions. Legacy or vendor-dependent databases struggle to handle the load, increase downtime risks, and raise licensing and support costs. At the same time, ensuring compliance with international security standards and preventing data loss is critical — which requires a reliable and scalable infrastructure.
Solution
InDevLab delivered a comprehensive project to migrate the client’s databases into a PostgreSQL cluster. We ensured high availability, fault tolerance, and scalability, while also reducing operational costs. Key steps of the project: Audit of the existing databases and risk assessment. Design of PostgreSQL cluster architecture with replication. Development of a detailed zero-downtime migration plan. Setup of replication and load balancing. Deployment of monitoring and automation systems. Implementation of backup and Disaster Recovery mechanisms. Ensuring compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001. Training of the client’s team for future system maintenance.
Result
The migration provided the client with a modern, secure, and scalable database platform, fully ready to handle the growing volume of healthcare data and transactions. Key achievements: 45% reduction in licensing and infrastructure costs. 70% increase in data processing speed. 99.99% service availability. Full elimination of vendor lock-in. Compliance with international standards for security and data protection. As a result, the company gained a reliable platform that not only meets current business requirements but is also prepared for future growth and innovation. Transitioning to PostgreSQL transformed the database from a vulnerability into a strategic advantage.
