LibraryPass Cloud: Maximizing Resource Utilization and Minimizing Costs with AWS

Business Overview

LibraryPass is a company with a flagship product, ComicsPlus, that provides global access to tens of thousands of digital comics, graphic novels, and manga titles under a simultaneous access or unlimited use model to students and library patrons.

LibraryPass required a significant upgrade to its overall systems administration, and engaged NIX to take over this function.

Project Scope

NIX initially conducted a full audit and analysis of the launched services and then took the next steps of optimizing the company’s spending on infrastructure by proposing and then implementing more effective solutions.

LibraryPass’s infrastructure expanded in two AWS regions and the company’s key goal was to include the East Asian region to improve the overall user experience for users.

The NIX team performed an audit of the AWS infrastructure and found outdated services and implementations that hampered system performance and delivery process. To reorganize and/or substitute the legacy components and make the system more scalable, we used AWS services such as Application Load Balancers and Lambda Functions.

These services include resolution of unforeseen challenges, taking an active position in the constant improvement of the infrastructure, and development and planning of current and future systems operations. 

Additionally, structured cloud governance was established through the implementation of AWS Organizations, clear tagging strategies, preventive IAM policies, and ongoing compliance monitoring, ensuring standardized operations, security, and cost optimization across all AWS resources.
