The challenge
Bexalyth was building a remote physiotherapy platform in Vancouver — video consultations with motion-tracking wearable integration. Their 3-person team had built a working React Native app and a Node.js backend, but deployments were manual (SSH into a DigitalOcean droplet), there was no staging environment, and a botched deployment had caused 6 hours of downtime during a live patient session. With their seed round closing and BC Health Authority pilots starting in Q2, they couldn't afford another incident — but they also couldn't afford to stop building.
Our solution
We designed and implemented their entire DevOps infrastructure in 6 weeks. We containerized their backend with Docker, set up a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions that runs their test suite, performs security scanning with Trivy, and deploys automatically to AWS ECS. We created identical staging and production environments using Terraform, set up Datadog for monitoring with custom alerts for video call quality and wearable data sync latency, and implemented automated database backups with tested recovery procedures. We also ran a security audit and hardened their API for handling protected health information.
The impact
“We were deploying by SSH and praying nothing broke. Kavora gave us a real engineering workflow — automated pipelines, monitoring, staging environments. Our BC Health pilot launched without a single issue.”
