About Zenwise and Zambala
Pune-based fintech start-up Zambala is an aggregation platform
for US and Indian market investors that enables them to buy or
sell stocks through its app. It also provides advisory and

Exchange Board of India (Sebi)-registered brokerage houses and
market experts, where retail investors can connect. It spares
the investor of broker commissions and other fees, and is free
of cost.
The Challenge
Zenwise developed a marketplace platform for Securities,
Exchanges and Market experts to connect.
The need was to migrate and modernize the application on Cloud
(AWS) to leverage scalability, performance, cost-effectiveness
and reap maximum benefits. Zenwise was looking to outsource
the entire infrastructure operations to pursue the required
compliances and optimally use the Cloud resources.
The Solution
Flentas helped design and migrate the application on AWS.
Briefly Flentas helped Zenwise with:
-
Setting up the Application on AWS using the below services:
-
AWS EC2 – To run the web services consumed by the Mobile
Application
-
Load-Balancer – To load balance on multiple EC2
Instances and manage scale
-
Elastic IP Address for EC2 Instances – To bind to domain
names and start and stop the Dev and QA environments on
demand
-
Amazon VPC – To segregate network between multiple
environments
-
Decoupling of the application to leverage scaling by using
fully-managed AWS services like S3, Redis, etc.
-
Apart from setting up and architecting of the application on
AWS, Flentas also engaged with Zenwise with Managed Services
offering with the below services:
-
Helping automate starting and stopping of the DEV
environments during office hours to save on the costs
- Automating Backup and Recovery strategies
-
Proactive 24/7 monitoring and Alerting of the
Infrastructure and Application
-
Integration of APM tools to identify Application fine
tuning avenues
The Benefits
-
By outsourcing cloud managed services, Zenwise saved on
staffing a full-time cloud resource which is often
unnecessary for small to medium sized businesses.
-
Reduced the go-live time remarkably for the product, due to
faster response time of Flentas.
-
Flentas helped Zenwise to identify maximum cost saving
avenues by sharing fortnightly cost saving reports and
proactively working on the shared avenues.
-
24/7 monitoring of the infrastructure taking care of all the
patch management, security and performance requirements.
- Interfacing and resolving vendor specific issues.
