The project was delivered on time, and the agreed-upon scope was implemented fully.
All of our VMs and databases have been deployed without issue. The structured setup has been very robust.
Pilotcore made a number of suggestions about architecture which greatly improved security and redundancy.
The cloud migration was a success and did not impact production operations. Infrastructure is now managed via code, and the internal development team was empowered to extend and add to the code base.
Dedication and willingness to go the extra mile even when challenges came up on our end.
The attention to detail and commitment to the process is admirable.
A project manager was assigned to the project and put in charge of monitoring deliverables and communication. Pilotcore always delivered on time on the items assigned to them and was always responsive to inquiries and requests.
Our staging environment was set up in its entirety in AWS, including ECS, CloudFront, load balancing, Fargate, cron jobs, etc. Our app was 100% functional in the new infrastructure.
Nelson quickly understood our requirements and made it extremely easy to get started with the project. He delivered the project on time and with excellent documentation.
Nelson was awesome to work with. He came in and became a great partner to our lead engineer, helped architect a sustainable solution, and then handed over everything smoothly. Great communicator and his senior experience helps get things done right the first time.
Their understanding and experience with the AWS suite of products and solutions were impressive.
Nelson did a great job at figuring out numerous things specific to our setup, resolving unforeseen problems as they arose. He provided further guidance and advice on things outside of the original scope as well.
Workflow has been great. We generally hold a few meetings as needed and communicate via Slack otherwise.
The level of competence was obvious after just a single meeting.
