What do you have always to do when you are a internet service provider? Right, to improve the IT. It’s time to optimize our infrastructure. That’s how we will use in the future the amazon web services.

Data to the cloud
First, we will transfer all user generated data (card and profile images) to S3. S3 is the ‚Simple storage service‘ from Amazon. It allows us to store our data on their highly available and highly scalable platform. Advantage for us: we can focus more on our business and don’t act much time with things that other can do better 🙂

Server upgrade for more power
Second, after the migration to S3 we will upgrade our server. Our hosting provider Host Europe installed a new generation of servers. More power for the same price. So, a good moment to improve the infrastructure of the best flashcard app in the world.

Conclusion
With these changes our IT becomes more flexible and so we have a optimal technical base for the upcoming exam periods. When there are new informations about any down time or other, we will communicate in time.
