DocDock Healthcare
VM Migration to Google Cloud
Qwinix worked closely with DocDock, shepherding their migration to GCP with deep technical expertise and a relentless focus on business goals.
DocDock is a healthcare application that was originally hosted on AWS proprietary AMI images. The application had legacy versions of Ruby on Rails along with dependent modules of passenger and gems that resulted in dependencies, maintenance challenges, and security concerns. DocDock turned to Qwinix to facilitate a seamless migration of their VMs to Google Cloud.
The Challenge 
- DocDock application was hosted on AWS proprietary AMI images.
- The application had legacy versions of Ruby on Rails along with dependent modules of passenger and gems that caused dependencies and app maintenance challenges.
- The outdated framework also posed security threats.
- The application monitoring setup was a non-standard tool that lacked sustainability.
The Solution
Qwinix successfully migrated the entire application stack including the Postgres database and associated data storage into GCP. The initial phase involved a lift and shift migration while setting up an application restructure path as part of the next phase aimed at cost optimization. The new solution also provides centralized logging and monitoring using Stackdriver improving efficiency.
The Result
Docdock migration has resulted in better performance of the application & has provided a platform for centralized logging & monitoring. It further helps the team effectively manage & support the application. The success of the migration paves the way for restructuring the application as part of the next phase.
