Hosting

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a wide range of services with option to upscale the match with the peak demands. 

• It supports Kubernetes and Docker which will use to implement the micro-services architecture.

• It supports multi-region deployment which complies to GDPR and data protection requirements

• It provides monitoring tools to manage and optimize your storage

Experience: Web Essentials has implemented AWS for both national projects in Cambodia and enterprise customers in Europe (cf. Case Study).

Operating system and webserver

Many operation services we proposed micro services that were used (database, firewall, never-proxy, etc...) are available as SaaS and sn operating system is not needed. In case we added extra services which requires an OS, our default and preferred OS is Ubuntu which has been used worldwide.

Programming language and framework

We have implemented multiple successful Laravel projects for governments and NGOs, including the multilateral health-related solution IDPoor - please see the references in the "Qualifications of the Service Provider" as part of this proposal

Database

Our chosen database for this project is MariaDB, however we are flexible in the final choice.

A high-level comparison of the two solutions:

MariaDB: open-source, well-maintained by community, frequent security fixes

MySQL: open-source but maintained by Oracle which increases dependency
