The client

The City of Gold Coast website is an essential resource for anyone visiting or living in the area, either from Australia or further afield. It’s both a key driver of tourism and a one-stop-shop for those who reside in the area, providing the latest information on visitor activities and events, education, businesses and more.

The challenge

The website is supported by Brisbane-based agency JSAcreative, built on WordPress and hosted on AWS.

Both the agency and client required an expert AWS partner who could manage the infrastructure around the clock. Due to the ever-changing nature of the content on the website, it is updated very frequently, and the client required an infrastructure solution that could cope with spikes in traffic and regular campaigns.

The solution

Our PaaS AWS infrastructure solution includes Elastic Beanstalk, meaning it is automatically patched and kept secure. It is also self-healing, meaning that the infrastructure has 100% availability, even during traffic spikes.

It also features autoscaling, making it a cost-effective solution for the client.

Moreover, through partnering with us, the agency can now offer a full package service to their clients which includes managed hosting. Our teams work together seamlessly and have developed a strong, long-lasting relationship built on trust and mutual expertise.
