Business Requirements

KYCKART is at the forefront of AI/ML-driven KYC solutions, empowering businesses in BFSI, FinTech, Crypto, Gaming, and the shared economy to identify fraudsters and ensure seamless onboarding. With ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications, KYCKART prioritizes security, quality, and compliance in every aspect of its operations. To meet the demands of a fast-paced and high-stakes industry, KYCKART requires an AWS infrastructure that is both sophisticated and adaptable to their complex needs.

The platform is designed to ensure high availability, leveraging a distributed architecture that spans multiple AWS regions and availability zones. Automated failover mechanisms and disaster recovery strategies ensure minimal disruption, keeping critical services online even during unforeseen events. At the same time, scalability is built into every layer of the system, with dynamic resource allocation, serverless technologies, and intelligent auto-scaling to handle spikes in demand without compromising performance.

Security and privacy are non-negotiable for KYCKART, which handles sensitive customer data daily. The infrastructure incorporates end-to-end encryption, private subnets, and granular access controls using IAM. Advanced security measures like real- time anomaly detection and automated compliance checks ensure that data remains protected and regulations like ISO and GDPR are always met.

To balance operational excellence with cost efficiency, the architecture optimizes resources through predictive scaling, spot instances, and detailed cost analysis. Automated CI/CD pipelines ensure rapid and reliable deployment of front-end and back- end services, with features like multi-environment testing and automated rollbacks to minimize downtime and risks during updates.

KYCKART’s AWS requirements reflect the complexity and precision needed to thrive in the high-stakes world of KYC solutions. By meeting these sophisticated demands, KYCKART is positioned to deliver world-class services with unmatched security, reliability, and efficiency, setting a new standard in the RegTech space.

The Challenge

Managing High Performance During Rapid Scale-up:
As KYCKART experienced rapid growth, ensuring consistent performance became challenging, especially during peak traffic periods. The platform needed to handle sudden increases in traffic without compromising speed or reliability.

Balancing Data Security with Regulatory Compliance:
Handling sensitive user data as a Regtech provider required KYCKART to meet strict regulatory standards, including ISO 9001 & 27001 certifications. Achieving this level of data security without hindering developer flexibility was a complex challenge

The Solution

Scalability

Implemented AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) using Fargate to run microservices across multiple containers. This allows KYCKART to scale automatically based on traffic, ensuring smooth operation even during peak times. The backend services include a KYC API and media services, which are also containerized.

CI/CD Integration

Leveraged AWS CodePipeline for continuous integration and deployment of both frontend and backend services. CodeBuild automates the build process, while CodeDeploy ensures updates are pushed to ECS containers seamlessly without affecting active services. Separate pipelines were set up for both frontend and backend code deployments, as shown in the diagram.

Data Security

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) was configured to control access to ECS tasks and other AWS resources. MongoDB Atlas was utilized for secure data management, while AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) was added to filter malicious traffic. Encryption was enforced at rest and in transit using AWS-managed keys.

Cost Optimization

By using AWS Fargate, KYCKART only pays for the resources consumed. AWS CloudWatch helps monitor and optimize resource utilization, while AWS ElasticCache (Redis) accelerates database performance and minimizes cost by reducing database load.

High Availability

The application was deployed across multiple AWS regions with Route 53 handling DNS failover to ensure global availability. An Application Load Balancer (ALB) distributes traffic between the ECS clusters in different availability zones, ensuring minimal impact during regional outages. AWS Aurora for RDS was set up for the MySQL database in a multi-AZ configuration with automated backup

Result

The AWS infrastructure solution delivered substantial improvements across KYCKART' key performance areas:

Seamless Scalability and Performance KYCKART’s AWS setup scales effortlessly with ECS and Fargate, ensuring smooth performance during peak traffic for a seamless user experience.
Strong Security and Compliance With AWS WAF, IAM, and MongoDB Atlas, KYCKART ensures ISO 9001 and 27001 compliance, securing data through encryption and automated checks.
Cost Efficiency Without Compromise Fargate’s pay-as-you-go model, along with ElasticCache and CloudWatch, helps KYCKART reduce costs while maintaining high performance and reliability.
Global Availability and Reliability KYCKART leverages multi-region deployments and a multi-AZ Aurora database to deliver uninterrupted global service, even during outages.
Faster Development and Updates CI/CD automation enables KYCKART to release updates quickly and safely, using multi-environment testing and rollback features to minimize risks.
