Identified Challenges in Scaling and Securing a Large-Scale Wellness Platform

The client operates a global digital wellness platform with over 6.4 million users and 1.5 million paid content subscribers. The existing monolithic architecture poses maintenance challenges, hampers scaling efforts, and exposes the platform to security vulnerabilities across multiple API endpoints, risking data leaks and unauthorized access. Ensuring zero downtime during migration and strengthening security while expanding functionality are critical needs.

About the Client

A mid to large-sized healthcare technology provider operating a digital wellness platform with millions of users, aiming to improve platform scalability, availability, security, and maintainability.

Key Goals for Scalable, Secure, and Maintainable Wellness Platform

  • Migrate the existing monolithic platform to a microservices architecture to ensure high availability and scalability.
  • Implement security measures to eliminate vulnerabilities across all API endpoints, preventing unauthorized access and data breaches.
  • Enable platform expansion with the ability to add new features seamlessly through microservices.
  • Achieve zero downtime during migration to maintain uninterrupted service for 6.4 million users.
  • Enhance security protocols to protect over 1.5 million paid subscriptions from malicious threats.

Core Functional Requirements for a Modular Wellness Platform

  • Microservices for content ranking based on user preferences.
  • API endpoints for listing popular content, subscription status management, and processing user settings.
  • Background job handling for expiration alerts and other scheduled tasks.
  • Secure authentication and authorization mechanisms utilizing JSON Web Tokens.
  • Automated security checks and vulnerability mitigation scripts.

Recommended Technologies and Architectural Approaches

Cloud-native microservices architecture
AWS Lambda and Amazon SQS for serverless workflows
Node.js, TypeScript, and Express for service development
Prisma ORM for data management and content ranking
Jest and Mocha for testing

External Systems and Data Integrations Needed

  • Authentication systems for secure login and token management
  • Databases such as Amazon RDS and MongoDB for data storage
  • Security scanning tools to automate vulnerability assessments

Non-Functional Requirements for System Performance and Security

  • Scalability to support over 6 million users with minimal latency
  • Zero downtime during migration and updates
  • Security compliance and vulnerability mitigation across 20 API endpoints
  • Automated security checks and testing coverage exceeding 95%

Expected Business Benefits of the Platform Modernization

By migrating to a microservices-based architecture and enhancing security measures, the client aims to ensure reliable, scalable platform operations capable of supporting continued regional and functional expansion. The initiative will prevent unauthorized data access, reduce maintenance complexity, and enable rapid deployment of new features, ultimately supporting growth toward a multi-billion-dollar valuation and serving millions of users globally.
