The Challenge
QlikChart aimed to build a highly secure and scalable financial growth dashboard for SMB customers, catering specifically to C-level users such as CFOs, CEOs, and finance directors. However, the company faced several challenges:
- Security Concerns: The platform required secure access controls to protect sensitive financial data.
- Performance & Scalability: The dashboard needed to handle high data loads while maintaining real-time analytics performance.
- CI/CD Efficiency: Continuous updates were required to improve features while maintaining uptime.
- Private Network Security: A highly secure, private infrastructure was necessary to prevent unauthorized access and ensure compliance with financial regulations.
To address these challenges, QlikChart partnered with Vcloudmaster, a trusted AWS cloud service provider, to design a secure, scalable, and high-performing infrastructure leveraging AWS services.

AWS System Manager provided secure access and maintenance without exposing the infrastructure to public networks.
- CI/CD Pipeline for Continuous Deployment:AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy enabled seamless integration and deployment of updates.Automated testing and deployment reduced downtime and improved system reliability.
