Better has successfully completed the AWS certification process, further strengthening the company’s position as a secure, scalable, and cloud-native health IT solutions provider.
The certification confirms that the Better digital health platform meets Amazon’s strict requirements for architecture, security, and resilience when deployed on AWS infrastructure.
To achieve the certification, the Better team implemented a fully compliant environment on AWS, including the deployment of its core services on Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service), Amazon OpenSearch, and Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. The architecture was documented in detail through a comprehensive technical diagram and aligned with AWS’s best practices for security and recovery.
Key elements of the certification include:
- Deployment on Amazon EKS: Better services were deployed in a managed Kubernetes environment, providing scalability and operational efficiency.
- Integration with AWS-native services: OpenSearch was used for analytics and search capabilities, while PostgreSQL handled core data operations.
- Security alignment: The environment was evaluated against AWS security guidelines, with adjustments made to meet compliance.
- Disaster recovery readiness: Recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO) were clearly defined to guarantee system resilience in case of downtime.
This certification guarantees that partners and clients using the Better Platform in AWS environments can do so with confidence in its performance, compliance, and cloud-native readiness. It also simplifies future deployments and reinforces Better’s commitment to operational excellence and security across multi-cloud environments.
“Achieving the AWS certification is another milestone in our effort to deliver high-quality, future-ready healthcare IT systems,” said Boštjan Lah, CTO at Better. “It shows that our technology can meet the highest standards for cloud deployment while maintaining the flexibility and openness that define our platform. Our customers can now benefit from even faster, more secure, and more resilient deployments on AWS.”
This achievement is part of the company’s strategy to offer an interoperable, modular, and standards-based digital health platform that can be deployed in any environment, on-premise, hybrid, or cloud, and vendor agnostic.
