Revolutionizing Cloud: The Tibica Case Study
Achievements
About the Customer
Tibica is a cloud-based platform designed for startups, enterprises, and software companies. Built entirely on AWS, Tibica’s mission is to simplify cloud infrastructure setup while ensuring scalability, reliability, and security.
The Vision
Tibica approached Perfsys with a transformative vision: to make cloud interaction intuitive, user-friendly, and automated. They aimed to create flagship products, including a Git system built on AWS CodeCommit and a git-based Content Management System (CMS) leveraging AWS S3 and CloudFront. Tibica sought to address common cloud challenges such as complex setups, ownership confusion, privacy and security concerns, and scalability issues.
The Implementation
Perfsys developed a comprehensive strategy to deliver Tibica’s project in stages. The plan involved creating applications and establishing an infrastructure that could integrate with any AWS account. The goal was to enable the creation of individual workspaces for clients in both multitenant and dedicated environments.
Key components included:
-
— Application installer/manager
-
— Marketplace home/app launcher
-
— Environment monitoring service
-
— Access management application
-
— Various cloud applications, including t.Git and t.Site
Architecture
Tibica prioritized scalability and cost-efficiency, particularly during the early stages with a smaller customer base. Serverless architecture, known for its agility and compatibility with microservices, was deemed the optimal solution.
Infrastructure
The infrastructure features a centralized installer application that manages clients and their applications. Each client and application is deployed as a separate CloudFormation stack, either in Tibica’s managed multitenant environments or on dedicated client accounts. The installer application also notifies clients about application updates. Additionally, each AWS environment includes a monitoring application for governance, performance checks, and cross-account communication.
Clients have access to a marketplace application called t.Home, which allows them to view, install, update, or delete applications. It integrates closely with t.Users, an access management application that uses Amazon Cognito for authentication and authorization.
