The Challenge

As a fast-growing provider of cloud-based lending solutions, Amount needed to evolve its infrastructure to support business separation from Avant and enable scalable, secure multi-tenancy for new banking partners.

The existing single-account AWS architecture limited the company’s ability to attribute costs per customer, isolate workloads, and onboard new clients efficiently. As data volumes increased, legacy tools and processes struggled to meet reliability, performance, and compliance demands.

Key challenges included:

• Lack of tenant isolation, creating difficulties in managing costs and enforcing security boundaries.
• Limited scalability for onboarding new banking customers and financial partners.
• Inability to properly segment workloads and environments within the existing architecture.
• High infrastructure management overhead with limited automation and reuse of resources.
• Need for a modernized platform to support long-term growth and regulatory compliance.

Amount required a secure, scalable, and automated SaaS framework that could support rapid provisioning of new customer environments while maintaining strict data separation and governance.

The Solution

Amount engaged UTurn Data Solutions to design and implement a modern multi-tenant SaaS architecture on AWS, transforming its platform to meet enterprise-grade security, scalability, and compliance standards.

UTurn led the modernization effort by introducing a multi-account AWS architecture that provided full tenant isolation and cost visibility—while leveraging infrastructure-as-code (IaC) automation to enable consistency and speed.

Key elements of the solution included:

• AWS Organizations to manage multiple accounts and enforce guardrails for governance and billing.
• AWS EKS for scalable, containerized workloads with reusable infrastructure components.
• Amazon Aurora as a performant and secure relational database layer.
• AWS Transit Gateway for network segmentation and secure connectivity between accounts.
• AWS Config, GuardDuty, CloudTrail, and AWS SSO for compliance, threat detection, and access control.
• Terraform automation for deploying standardized modules and replicable environments.
• Data modernization efforts, including migration paths from Aurora and Postgres RDS into S3-based data lakes.
• Adoption of frameworks that reduced manual DevOps overhead and streamlined infrastructure management.

By adopting this AWS-native, IaC-driven approach, UTurn helped Amount establish a resilient, compliant, and future-proof SaaS environment capable of scaling securely across banking clients.
