CoverWallet: a successful use case of insurance software infrastructure

CoverWallet, an Aon company, is dedicated to harnessing data, design, and technology to make commercial insurance simple, fast, and convenient. The traditional small business insurance application is 27 pages and it can take as long as 7–10 days to get a quote, making it time-consuming, complex, and generally painful. By changing the traditional model, with its many shortcomings, CoverWallet has created the easiest way for businesses to understand, buy, and manage insurance — all online, in minutes.

CoverWallet was expanding its services around the world, building on its presence in the U.S., to also provide businesses in Europe and Australia with an easier way to understand, buy and manage business insurance online. The company needed more visibility and control of our infrastructure, competitive pricing and better performance.

Edosoft team supported CoverWallet SRE team to migrate successfully most services and clients to the new cloud architecture deployed on Google Cloud. In addition, Edosoft trained CoverWallet developers in the use of Kubernetes and the microservices architecture and how CI/CD will work during the transition.

“We now guarantee the scalability of our systems across geographies while balancing cost, performance, and security.” Pablo Molina. CTO, CoverWallet.

The current solution fits CoverWallet’s vision of delivering the technology platform of the future for insurance. With this technology, CoverWallet can migrate to event-driven architecture in order to scale as an engineering team. CoverWallet’s goal is to build a multi-tenant platform so that a single codebase runs on every region globally while adapting to the local requirements.

• 50% cost reduction
• 30% less SRE capacity invested in apps runtime management due to consolidation
• Kubernetes native infrastructure
• Gain visibility and control of applications at runtime

Agile infrastructure orchestration with Google Cloud
