Project description

YLD has been working closely with Uphold for over 18 months and counting, helping harden their resilient cloud infrastructure leveraging open source and cloud-native tools. Through our partnership, Uphold improved their Kubernetes cluster on EKS, making it much easier for developers to interact with their applications. We've also helped Uphold take a more platform-oriented approach, materially improving engineering collaboration across different teams and functions.

Swift, Efficient Delivery and Optimised Infrastructure

Working together, Uphold and YLD were able to improve automation around deployment processes, increasing efficiency and reducing the risk of human error. 

We assisted Uphold in fragmenting their environments and network to more easily isolate issues that could arise. Doing so facilitated more transparent alerting and monitoring on the relevant network stacks with minimal adverse effects on production. Such isolation also helped streamline communication and improved the speed and ease of code deployment to production.

Safety and Security & Disaster Recovery

YLD assisted with the following:

  • Restructuring the cloud architecture to better implement various internal security factors
  • Implementing a better model of transit gateway usage
  • Auditing the platform, achieving fully PCI-compliant status.
  • Improving the secrets' management process
