CHALLENGE
The mikroworx GmbH is a cloud-born payment gateway provider. Their business model is to provide payment gateways as a service to support financial transactions.
While having their previous payment gateway within a traditional old-school data center and managed services provider, their new platform was meant to leverage the full power of public cloud services.
Nonetheless, starting a cloud journey requires new expertise in technology and a mind-shift in the approach of building a platform.
solution
Alice&Bob accompanied mikroworx GmbH during their entire journey, from architecture across implementation until PCI DSS 3.2 certification.
With this AWS services like EC2, S3, custom hardened AMIs, Cloud Watch, Cloud Trail, GuardDuty, CloudFormation, Systems Manager, Lambda functions and Inspector were crucial for successful implementation.
