In response to the urgent need for a robust and scalable solution to manage the logistics of COVID-19 vaccinations nationwide, I lead a team that swiftly conceptualized and executed a comprehensive digital infrastructure.
Technological Stack: We strategically chose Docker, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, BigQuery, Google Kubernetes Engine, App Engine, and Cloud Load Balancing to ensure the vaccination website and management solutions could handle the immense demand.
Seamless Integration & Deployment: By leveraging Google Cloud, we seamlessly integrated with GitHub, enabling automatic code deployments through GitHub Actions. This integration not only ensured uninterrupted service availability but also facilitated immediate hot patches at any hour. The result was a transformative shift in the institution's operational efficiency, especially within the internal software factory. The ripple effect of this adoption was evident as numerous other projects transitioned to these cloud technologies, witnessing a staggering reduction in delivery time by over 80%.
Impact & Results:
Nationwide digital infrastructure for vaccination logistics was successfully implemented.
Over 30 employees transitioned to and thrived with the new cloud technology, significantly enhancing their productivity.
Our robust and scalable cloud infrastructure was primed to handle high demand, ensuring no individual was left waiting.
A testament to our efficiency and effectiveness, our nation achieved the highest vaccination rate in Latin America. Remarkably, the majority of the vulnerable population was vaccinated just two days post the arrival of the initial vaccine batch. This was made possible as the project's first phase was delivered in a record time of under seven days.
