Key Activities
To help RunesDex improve its operations, we focused on several key areas.
Improving Infrastructure
First, we took a close look at their existing infrastructure, making enhancements to ensure it ran smoothly and efficiently. By leveraging AWS services, we ensured high availability and performance, while also introducing Kubernetes to streamline the management of applications. This made deploying new features much quicker and more straightforward.
