The challenge

Amazon WorkDocs is a fully managed and secure content creation, storage and collaboration service. With Amazon WorkDocs, you can easily create, edit, and share content, and because it is stored centrally on AWS, you can access it from any location or device. Through Amazon WorkDocs, it`s easy to collaborate with others, share content, provide rich feedback, and collaboratively edit documents.

For compliance reasons ERBESSD required that the information stored in WorkDocs can be automatically sent to 2 different regions of the region where the WorkDocs site is located and that it can be retained for a set period of time.

Why Amazon Web Services?

ERBESSD knew that the solution it was looking for should be in a cloud environment, and after analyzing different providers, in addition to Mxmart`s guidance, it found that Amazon Web Services offered the tools and services needed for the solution it required.

The solution

Manually moving individual objects from Amazon WorkDocs to Amazon S3 can be tedious, so we designed a way to automate the process and make the files available in S3 for further analysis, processing and backup.

The solution is based on a constant communication where Amazon API Gateway s listening for WorkDocs notifications to process all the events generated, Amazon API Gateway is integrated with Amazon SQS which queues the events from Amazon API Gateway and triggers a Lambda that takes care of moving the files to a previously created and configured S3 bucket. Amazon SQS uses a queue to reprocess API events in the event of a failure to synchronize files from Amazon WorkDocs to Amazon S3.

Finally, the S3 bucket where the Amazon WorkDocs files arrive is configured to asynchronously replicate all files to two other buckets that are in different regions.

The benefits

The solution allows ERBESSD to focus on data analysis and avoid the manual efforts of moving files from Amazon WorkDocs to Amazon S3, saving time and improving overall productivity and efficiency by meeting all the compliance and archiving requirements they needed.
