Our Projects
We thrive on tackling complex challenges by delivering innovative solutions across today’s cutting-edge domains. Our project experience spans e-commerce, business analytics, healthcare applications, logistics, strategic cloud migrations, advanced DevSecOps CI/CD, legacy software modernization, and comprehensive information security management.
Strategic Modernization of a High-Value Legacy Travel Platform
MercTech addressed a significant challenge for a client who acquired a legacy hotel, flight, and car rental booking platform—an early 2000s system that once drove $500 million in gross revenue but was transferred with zero documentation and minimal domain knowledge. Our team meticulously reverse-engineered, modernized, and scaled this complex application, migrating it to a state-of-the-art cloud infrastructure. This strategic transformation provided our client with leading cloud technologies and a highly efficient, 100% Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) environment operable by a lean engineering team.
Strategic AWS Cloud Migration and Secure Solution Architecture for a Large-Scale Pharmaceutical Healthcare Application
MercTech successfully executed a complex migration of a legacy LAMP application from Rackspace to a robust AWS cloud environment for a major pharmaceutical healthcare client. Over a four-month period, we ensured a seamless transition with zero customer-facing issues. Our solution was meticulously designed to meet stringent HIPAA compliance standards, incorporating a comprehensive information security program that paved the way for the client’s eventual HiTrust certification. The excellence of our infrastructure design and security posture was notably recognized and praised by third-party consultants during a subsequent due diligence process when our client was acquired by an even larger healthcare entity.
High-Performance AWS Caching Architecture Delivers Sub-Second Search for Leading Corporate Benefits Platform
MercTech engineered an innovative, decoupled caching solution on AWS for a major provider of corporate employee entertainment and travel benefits, addressing critical hotel search page load times exceeding 45 seconds in key markets. By leveraging technologies including ElastiCache, DynamoDB, API Gateway, and Lambda, we developed a cost-effective system to cache results for common searches in high-demand markets. This strategic implementation dramatically reduced hotel search response times to under 3 seconds, with cached results retrieved in less than one second through a REST API. The significant performance gains directly improved our client’s conversion ratios, prompting discussions to extend this successful caching model to their other product offerings.
