Infinity Souvenirs
Infinity Souvenirs is a company based in the Dominican Republic, specializing in the manufacturing, import, export, and sale of souvenirs, crafts, and gifts geared towards the tourism market. It also operates a network of stores in free zones, enabling it to serve both local and international consumers.
The company embraced technological modernization to remain competitive in an ever-evolving market. The strategic decision to migrate to AWS Re-Platform, implemented by Cloudrivers, enhanced operational efficiency, reduced costs, and improved customer experience.
To achieve this, Infinity undertook a re-platforming process of its applications and services to AWS (Amazon Web Services), with the guidance and execution of Cloudrivers, a provider specialized in cloud migration and optimization.

Context and limitations
Before migrating to the cloud, Infinity Souvenirs faced limitations with its on-premise infrastructure, affecting its ability to scale operations, quickly respond to tourism market demands, and ensure business continuity during high-traffic periods. The legacy infrastructure hindered automation, raised operational costs, and limited innovation.
Infinity operated with a traditional IT infrastructure that limited the company in several ways
Limited Scalability
The local infrastructure couldn’t quickly adapt to the company’s growing demands, especially during traffic spikes and high-demand events in the financial sector.
Performance and Latency
Application response times were suboptimal, affecting user experience and operational efficiency.
High Maintenance Costs
Managing physical servers and the constant need for maintenance significantly increased operational expenses.
Technological Obsolescence
Infinity’s technology platform was becoming outdated, making it difficult to integrate new tech solutions or quickly adapt to changes in the financial market.
Cloudrivers assessed Infinity’s infrastructure and planned a seamless migration of critical applications to AWS without disruptions.
Cloudrivers chose AWS services per workload: EC2 for scaling, RDS for databases, and S3 for secure financial data storage.
Re-platforming optimized code, adjusted databases, and adapted apps for better scalability and efficiency on AWS—without full rewrites.
Cloudrivers secured data with VPC for segmentation, WAF for threat protection, and IAM for precise access control.
The solution used AWS automation for EC2 startup/shutdown and CloudWatch for monitoring, reducing downtime and optimizing performance.
Before migration, thorough testing ensured apps worked in AWS, covering performance, security, and compatibility to meet Infinity’s standards.
Re-platforming to AWS
Infinity made a bold decision to address its challenges by re-platforming its applications to Amazon Web Services (AWS). This move was driven by the need to enhance scalability, performance, and flexibility while overcoming the limitations of their existing infrastructure. By shifting to AWS, Infinity aimed to tap into the full potential of cloud technology, ensuring its applications could grow and evolve with the company’s needs.
To achieve this, Infinity partnered with Cloudrivers, experts in cloud solutions, who crafted and implemented a tailored solution. Cloudrivers played a crucial role in guiding the transition, helping Infinity navigate the complexities of cloud migration and ensuring that the company could fully benefit from AWS’s advanced features. This collaboration empowered Infinity to optimize its operations and future-proof its IT environment, setting the stage for sustainable growth.
The transformation
The re-platforming of Infinity’s applications to AWS delivered significant outcomes that transformed the company’s operations
Infinity can now scale applications efficiently and automatically according to demand, handling traffic peaks during high product sales seasons.
Reduced latency and improved response times resulted in a faster, smoother user experience.
AWS architecture led to a significant reduction in operational costs. On-demand resources and optimized instance usage cut unnecessary expenses.
AWS’s robust security infrastructure ensured compliance with local and international regulations, particularly for handling sensitive financial data.
The new AWS infrastructure enables Infinity to respond quickly to market demands and add new features and services in shorter timeframes—improving competitiveness.
Automating tasks such as instance shutdown/startup and constant monitoring reduced administrative burden, allowing Infinity to focus on growth and expansion.
The AWS re-platforming implementation for Infinity, led by Cloudrivers, was a complete success. The company modernized its IT infrastructure, improved application performance, and reduced operational costs—all while enhancing security and compliance. This transition has positioned Infinity to compete more effectively in the dynamic souvenir manufacturing, import, and export market while continuing to deliver innovative solutions to its customers.
