Project Overview
We partnered with ListenLayer to deliver comprehensive DevOps infrastructure and cybersecurity on AWS for their marketing data platform. ListenLayer provides marketers with a single source of truth for data collection, distribution, and compliance—and we ensured their infrastructure is as reliable and secure as the data they protect.
The Challenge
ListenLayer handles sensitive marketing data for enterprises worldwide, requiring robust security, high availability, and seamless scalability. Their platform processes millions of events daily, demanding infrastructure that could handle peak loads while maintaining strict data privacy and compliance standards.
- Process millions of marketing events daily with sub-second latency
- Maintain SOC 2 compliance and enterprise-grade security
- Scale infrastructure elastically during traffic spikes
- Implement zero-trust security architecture
- Ensure 99.99% uptime for mission-critical data collection
AWS Infrastructure Architecture
We designed and deployed a highly available, auto-scaling AWS infrastructure optimized for real-time data processing and analytics workloads.
- AWS ECS with Fargate for serverless container orchestration
- Amazon RDS with Multi-AZ deployment for database resilience
- ElastiCache for high-performance caching layer
- CloudFront CDN for global edge distribution
- AWS Lambda for event-driven serverless processing
- Infrastructure as Code using Terraform for reproducibility
CI/CD & DevOps Practices
We implemented modern DevOps practices enabling rapid, reliable deployments with comprehensive testing and monitoring.
- GitHub Actions pipelines for automated CI/CD workflows
- Blue-green deployments for zero-downtime releases
- Automated security scanning in deployment pipeline
- Container image scanning and vulnerability management
- Feature flags for controlled rollouts
- Comprehensive logging with CloudWatch and centralized observability
Cybersecurity Implementation
We implemented defense-in-depth security controls to protect ListenLayer's platform and their customers' sensitive marketing data.
- AWS WAF for application-layer protection against attacks
- VPC architecture with private subnets and NAT gateways
- IAM policies following principle of least privilege
- Secrets management with AWS Secrets Manager
- Encryption at rest (KMS) and in transit (TLS 1.3)
- Security groups and NACLs for network segmentation
Penetration Testing & Audits
We conducted thorough security assessments to identify and remediate vulnerabilities across the platform.
- Annual penetration testing with detailed remediation reports
- OWASP Top 10 vulnerability assessments
- API security testing for all endpoints
- Infrastructure security review and hardening
- Third-party security audit coordination
- Continuous vulnerability scanning with automated alerts
Compliance & Monitoring
We ensured ListenLayer meets enterprise compliance requirements while maintaining real-time visibility into platform health.
- SOC 2 Type II compliance controls implementation
- GDPR and CCPA data handling procedures
- AWS Config rules for continuous compliance monitoring
- CloudTrail for comprehensive audit logging
- Real-time alerting with PagerDuty integration
- Custom dashboards for security and performance metrics
Impact & Results
- 99.99% platform uptime maintained across all customer deployments
- Zero security incidents since infrastructure deployment
- Sub-100ms latency for real-time event processing at scale
- SOC 2 Type II certification achieved and maintained
- Deployment frequency increased from weekly to multiple daily releases
- Infrastructure costs optimized by 40% through right-sizing
Why It Matters
Our DevOps and cybersecurity partnership with ListenLayer established the secure, scalable foundation their marketing data platform needs to serve enterprise customers with confidence. By combining AWS best practices, robust security controls, and modern DevOps workflows, we enabled ListenLayer to focus on their mission—giving marketers data freedom—while we ensure their infrastructure remains bulletproof.
