Micro-services approach for HPS wellness

HPS (Health Positioning System) wellness is an India-based health-tech product to help its users identify current health co-ordinates and navigate each of them towards becoming the best version of themselves. This is done by sending personalized and holistic recommendations throughout the day.

Tweeny Technologies leads the product development efforts for HPS Wellness.

Business Challenge

• The HPS recommendation system works by gathering data from questionnaires in the App to determine health co-ordinates and then based upon these data sets provide health-report and personalized recommendations.
• HPS was built as a monolithic Java program. As the application grows, it becomes difficult to maintain, and that compromises the frequency of software releases. This leads to inefficient development.
• The HPS product development team came up with a problem statement on setting up solid systems for managing its multiple corporate customers and clinic customers. The system needed to be user-friendly and high-performing.

Tweeny’s solution

• Tweeny developed Micro-services for Single Sign-On, CMS, ProxyApp, and other internal modules.
• This led to developing consistency and better management of product updates and changes.
• As compared to the monolithic application development approach, micro-services reduce the developer’s time to debug, test, manage builds, and scaling the application.
• For example, if 1 instance of SSO is falling to cater to 10K logins a month, we can easily replicate only the SSO for more instances with minimal configuration changes.
• This also makes sure the codebase remains independent of the configuration changes.
• Reduces the build cycle and sets the team up for successful product deliveries.

Cost control

• For all the running workloads of EC2 & RDS instances, we have applied the benefits of Reserved Instances.
• This saves the cost up to 58% as compared to On-demand instances.
