HIPAA-Aligned Multi-Region Cloud Migration Framework

A zero-downtime migration pattern for clinical applications that need strong compliance controls and continuous availability.

The Problem

Why teams need this pattern

Healthcare software on legacy on-premise infrastructure often has single points of failure. Compliance demands end-to-end encryption, strict audit logging, and multi-region disaster recovery.

Ideal for

  • Healthtech startups heading into enterprise sales
  • Teams replacing a single-region legacy stack

Our Approach

Architectural approach

A multi-region Terraform pattern on AWS using EKS, Aurora Global Database, and automated KMS key rotation, with blue-green pipelines for cutover that avoids interrupting care operations.

System Design

Architectural layers & components

How data and control flow from the edge of the system to the people who use it.

  1. 01

    Global Edge & WAF

    CloudFront and WAF with TLS termination.

  2. 02

    Kubernetes Compute

    Multi-region EKS clusters with ArgoCD GitOps deployments.

  3. 03

    Multi-Region Database

    Aurora PostgreSQL Global Database with cross-region replication.

  4. 04

    Compliance & Security

    GuardDuty, CloudTrail audit vaults, and customer-managed KMS keys.

Design Targets

What this architecture is built to achieve

Targets we design toward. We confirm them against your own data and workload before you commit to a build.

Assumptions & limits
  • This pattern is HIPAA-aligned, not a certification; formal compliance requires your own audit.
  • Hospital integrations (HL7/FHIR) are scoped separately.

How We Work

From first call to working prototype

  1. 130–45 min

    Discovery call

    We review your constraints, existing systems, and success criteria, and tell you honestly whether this blueprint fits.

  2. 21–2 weeks

    Fit & feasibility workshop

    We adapt the reference architecture to your stack, validate the design targets against your real data, and produce a scoped plan.

  3. 3Scoped per project

    Prototype, then build

    We ship a working slice first so you can judge the approach before committing to a full build.

Technology Stack

We swap components to fit your stack.

  • Terraform
  • AWS EKS
  • Aurora PostgreSQL
  • ArgoCD
  • Kubernetes
  • Prometheus
