DoveMed
Reliable medical resources for everyone

Project summary
Health is the cornerstone of our lives. Unfortunately, many medical rating sites and resources are influenced by commercial interests, making it difficult to find reliable healthcare information. DoveMed strives to be a trusted online resource, offering high-quality medical information to both healthcare seekers and providers on an easy-to-use platform accessible to anyone, anytime.

The project faced several significant challenges, including:
Dynamic goals and roadmaps
As user needs and medical advancements rapidly evolve, DoveMed’s goals and roadmaps are constantly adapting.
Evolution of the platform
DoveMed’s growth required a delicate balance between responding to client feature requests and building a scalable infrastructure that supports future developments.
Technology adoption strategy
To navigate these challenges, the DoveMed team adopted a flexible, experimental approach that encouraged creativity and structure:
Kubernetes implementation
As the user base and feature set expanded, the entire service was migrated to Kubernetes. This shift enabled the site to handle increased traffic, meet new technological demands, and maintain high availability and resilience against potential disruptions.
Ephemeral environments
Kubernetes, combined with custom solutions, enabled the development of ephemeral environments. This innovative approach allowed the team to develop, test, and review each feature in an isolated branch.
Infrastructure as code
Implementing infrastructure as code streamlined infrastructure management, increased performance, and reduced costs, cutting AWS expenses by around 40%. This setup offers an elegant and transparent solution that keeps the DevOps team aligned and ensures a single source of truth for all team members.
