12 January 20269 min read
Scaling a healthcare platform like PharmaTek requires more than just adding more servers. You have to scale the data pipelines, the security protocols, and the compliance tracking simultaneously.
The Performance Hurdle
When PharmaTek's traffic surged by 500% in late 2025, our backend architecture was put to the test. Here's how we maintained performance without compromising on HIPAA or GDPR standards.
Technical Wins
- Localized Data Processing: Reducing the load on central databases.
- Asynchronous Audit Trails: Logging compliance data without blocking the user.
- Automated Verification: Using AI to verify data integrity in real-time.
Engineering excellence is non-negotiable in healthcare.
