Amazon ECS on AWS

Delivered by IdealSolution

Secure, scalable, and compliant container platforms on AWS ECS & Fargate

IdealSolution is an AWS Partner Network (APN) Consulting Partner and validated Amazon ECS Service Delivery Partner. We design, build, and operate containerised platforms that accelerate delivery, reduce costs, and ensure compliance — tailored to your business context.

IdealSolution helps customers modernize and scale their platforms by transitioning from monolithic systems to secure, containerized solutions.

Through our ECS Service Delivery Program (SDP) offering, we now formalize this capability — enabling clients to adopt microservices architectures that are agile, cost-efficient, and production-grade. Our collaboration with AWS ensures that these solutions are built on validated best practices, supported by secure, scalable infrastructure, and enhanced through joint go-to-market support, funding programs, and co-innovation opportunities.

What We Deliver

ECS/Fargate Platform Design

Secure, PCI DSS–aligned container platforms with ECR, API Gateway, Cognito, ACM, IAM, and KMS.

Containerisation & Migration

Re-architecting legacy workloads into modern ECS microservices with blue/green and canary deployments.

CI/CD Automation

CodePipeline and CodeBuild integrated into ECR/ECS for fast, reliable deployments.

Observability

CloudWatch Container Insights and OpenTelemetry for real-time monitoring and fault isolation.

Security & Compliance

Encryption, secrets management, least privilege IAM, and audit-ready designs.

FinOps & Cost Optimisation

Right-sizing workloads, leveraging Spot and Savings Plans, automated image lifecycles, tagging, and real-time budget alerts — ensuring AWS spend is always aligned to business value.

Customer Success Stories

Mobile Payments (SoftPOS)

Case Study A

A South African fintech needed to modernise its SoftPOS platform after acquisition. AWS costs had grown to over R200k/month, instability slowed releases, and compliance complexity hindered scale.

Solution: Re-architected on Amazon ECS with Fargate, with CI/CD automation, ACM/KMS/Secrets Manager security, DexGuard app hardening, and an aggregator onboarding model.

Outcomes:

80% cost reduction (R200k → R40k/month)
Stronger stability and observability
Faster feature delivery with automated deployments
Smaller APKs, faster load times, and hardened runtime
PCI DSS compliance retained while enabling regional scale

Cloud-Native Internet Payment Gateway

Case Study B

A leading payments provider wanted to bring its eCommerce payments stack in-house and unify omni-channel transactions.

Solution: Built a containerised microservices gateway on Amazon ECS with Fargate, supporting cards, EFT, QR, and wallets. Delivered merchant self-service and internal back-office portals. Security embedded with Cognito, API Gateway, Secrets Manager, KMS, IAM, and ACM.

Outcomes:

Full ownership of online payments stack
Faster merchant onboarding, reconciliation, and refunds
Improved developer velocity with APIs and IaC
Dynamic workload scaling without re-architecture
Roadmap for tokenisation, embedded checkout, and white-label offerings
