Reference Architecture

A real-world enterprise architecture we build on AWS.

Global SaaS Platform on AWS

This architecture powers a multi-tenant B2B SaaS application serving enterprise customers across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific. CloudFront distributes the React frontend globally, whilst API Gateway and Lambda handle the API tier in a fully serverless pattern. DynamoDB provides single-digit-millisecond data access with global tables for multi-region replication. Cognito manages tenant isolation and authentication, whilst Step Functions orchestrate complex business workflows such as subscription billing and onboarding. Kinesis Data Streams ingests usage telemetry into a data lake on S3, processed by Glue and queried via Athena for product analytics. The entire platform is deployed across three regions using Route 53 latency-based routing, with automated failover and health checks. Security is enforced through AWS Organisations SCPs, VPC endpoints, and GuardDuty with Security Hub aggregation.

AWS in Action

Industry

Healthcare -- UK Digital Health Platform

The Challenge

A UK digital health startup providing remote patient monitoring needed to scale from 5,000 to 500,000 patients within 18 months. Their single-server architecture could not handle the concurrent WebSocket connections required for real-time vitals monitoring, and they needed to achieve NHS DSPT (Data Security and Protection Toolkit) compliance before onboarding NHS trusts as customers.

The Solution

TotalCloudAI redesigned the platform on AWS using a serverless-first approach. We implemented API Gateway WebSocket APIs with Lambda for real-time data ingestion, DynamoDB for patient records with fine-grained access control, and Kinesis for streaming vitals data to SageMaker for anomaly detection. IoT Core managed device connectivity for wearable sensors. We deployed the platform across eu-west-2 (London) with cross-region replication to eu-west-1 (Ireland) for disaster recovery. Security controls included Cognito with MFA, encryption at rest with customer-managed KMS keys, VPC endpoints for all AWS services, and GuardDuty with automated incident response. We achieved NHS DSPT compliance and SOC 2 Type II certification.

"TotalCloudAI gave us the architecture to scale from a promising startup to an NHS-approved platform. Their AWS expertise and understanding of healthcare compliance was exactly what we needed."

AWS Questions Answered

What makes AWS different from Azure and GCP?+

AWS has the broadest and deepest set of cloud services, with over 200 fully-featured offerings and the largest global infrastructure (33 regions, 105 availability zones). It leads in serverless computing (Lambda was the first major FaaS), has the most mature marketplace ecosystem, and offers the widest range of instance types and pricing models. AWS is particularly strong for startups through its credits programme and for enterprises needing granular control over every aspect of their infrastructure.

How do you optimise AWS costs for enterprise clients?+

We follow a comprehensive FinOps approach: first, we right-size instances using AWS Compute Optimiser and Cost Explorer data. Then we implement Savings Plans and Reserved Instances for predictable workloads (saving up to 72%), Spot Instances for fault-tolerant batch processing, and Graviton-based instances for up to 40% better price-performance. We enforce resource tagging, set up AWS Budgets with anomaly detection alerts, and schedule non-production environments to shut down outside business hours. Typically, our clients see 35-55% cost reductions within the first quarter.

Can you migrate our existing Azure or on-prem workloads to AWS?+

Absolutely. We have deep experience in cross-cloud and on-premises-to-AWS migrations. We use AWS Migration Hub for centralised tracking, Application Discovery Service for dependency mapping, DMS for database migrations, and CloudEndure for server replication. For cross-cloud migrations, we map equivalent services (e.g., Azure SQL to Aurora, Azure Functions to Lambda) and handle data transfer using AWS DataSync or Snowball for large datasets. Every migration includes a documented rollback plan and phased cutover strategy.

How do you handle AWS multi-account governance?+

We implement AWS Control Tower with customised guardrails across your AWS Organisation. This includes dedicated accounts for security logging, shared services, networking, and individual workloads. Service Control Policies (SCPs) enforce boundaries, IAM Identity Centre provides centralised SSO, and AWS Config rules with automatic remediation ensure continuous compliance. We follow the AWS Well-Architected Framework's organisational best practices to create a secure, scalable multi-account structure.

Do you support serverless architecture on AWS?+

Serverless is one of our strongest capabilities on AWS. We design event-driven architectures using Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Step Functions, EventBridge, and SQS/SNS. Our serverless solutions include proper cold start mitigation (provisioned concurrency for latency-sensitive endpoints), structured logging with CloudWatch Logs Insights, distributed tracing with X-Ray, and Infrastructure as Code with AWS SAM or CDK. We have delivered serverless platforms handling millions of daily transactions for clients in fintech, healthcare, and e-commerce.

What AWS regions do you recommend for UK businesses?+

For UK businesses, we typically recommend eu-west-2 (London) as the primary region for data residency compliance and lowest latency to UK users. For disaster recovery, eu-west-1 (Ireland) provides excellent cross-region redundancy with strong network connectivity. If your business serves European customers, we can design multi-region architectures spanning London, Ireland, Frankfurt, and Paris. For global workloads, we implement CloudFront edge locations and Route 53 latency-based routing to serve users from the nearest region automatically.
