Customer Story | AWS Infrastructure
Rachio strengthened the cloud foundation behind a high-volume smart water platform.
Rachio partnered with CodeRise Technologies to evaluate and modernize the AWS infrastructure supporting a critical customer-facing data platform. CodeRise worked directly with Franz Garsombke, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at Rachio, with Harmeek Jhutty, CEO of CodeRise Technologies, leading the engagement.
The real cost of standing still
Critical infrastructure needs more than uptime. It needs a recovery plan.
Rachio’s platform relied on a high-volume production data layer that supported customer-facing application flows and downstream analytics. The existing environment worked, but scaling, recovery, upgrades, monitoring, and operating effort needed a clearer path forward.
Recovery risk
Backups existed, but full rebuild and restore procedures needed to be validated, documented, and made repeatable.
Growth pressure
Daily event volume and retention requirements demanded an architecture that could scale without constant manual intervention.
Operational load
Manual infrastructure management increased the burden around upgrades, performance tuning, monitoring, and support.
What CodeRise did
A practical AWS infrastructure assessment, not a one-size-fits-all migration pitch.
CodeRise evaluated the current state, compared modernization paths, modeled operational tradeoffs, and shaped an AWS operating model focused on resilience, automation, observability, and controlled change.
- Mapped the existing production flowReviewed application integration, load patterns, backup approach, recovery assumptions, and day-to-day support model.
- Compared modernization optionsAssessed multiple AWS infrastructure paths for scalability, recovery time, cost, operational complexity, and long-term maintainability.
- Designed for repeatabilityRecommended infrastructure-as-code, automated deployment pipelines, environment promotion, and reliable test environment creation.
- Strengthened operationsDefined backup, restore, monitoring, alerting, and recovery patterns that engineering teams could operate with confidence.
Solution deep dive
Modern cloud operations built around scale, resilience, and engineer-friendly execution.
Infrastructure modernization
CodeRise helped Rachio understand which AWS path best balanced control, operational simplicity, recovery expectations, and platform growth.
Recovery-first architecture
The engagement emphasized documented rebuild paths, reliable backup and restore practices, and clearer recovery-time expectations.
Automation and observability
Recommendations centered on repeatable provisioning, deployment automation, actionable monitoring, and alerting that reduces manual support effort.
The outcomes
A clearer path for a business-critical AWS workload.
The result was a decision-ready infrastructure plan Rachio could use to modernize without exposing the business to unnecessary operational risk.
Why it matters
Cloud modernization works best when strategy and execution stay connected.
CodeRise helped turn a complex AWS infrastructure decision into a practical modernization roadmap grounded in scale, recovery, cost, and operational reality.
