Client Overview
Ellevated Outcomes is a strategic consulting firm that helps small businesses unlock growth opportunities and optimize operations through data-driven insights and expert guidance.
The Challenge
Ellevated Outcomes had successfully developed a machine learning classifier that could determine which area of a client’s business needed the most attention—a powerful tool for providing targeted strategic advice. However, they faced a critical gap: the model existed only in their development environment, unusable for real client interactions.
Without in-house technical expertise, they needed to transform their promising prototype into a production-ready system that could:
- Automatically process client assessment data from their intake forms
- Integrate seamlessly with their existing business tools (Typeform and Active Campaign)
- Operate reliably without constant technical maintenance
- Deliver instant insights to both prospects and internal strategists
Our Solution
Slova Applications designed a comprehensive AWS-based solution that transformed their prototype into a production-ready system. Our approach focused on simplicity, reliability, and seamless integration with their existing workflow.
Architecture Overview
We built a serverless, fully automated system that processes client assessments in real-time:
Serverless Classifier (AWS Lambda)
The machine learning model runs as a serverless function, automatically scaling based on demand while eliminating server maintenance costs and complexity.
Secure Model Storage (Amazon S3)
The trained classifier and its data are stored securely in the cloud, with built-in version control and reliable access for the processing functions.
Credential Management (AWS Secrets Manager)
All API keys and sensitive information are stored using enterprise-grade security practices, ensuring integrations remain secure without exposing credentials.
Smart Monitoring (Amazon SNS)
Automatic alerts notify the team immediately if any issues occur, ensuring problems are addressed before they impact client experience.
Seamless Integrations
The system connects everything automatically:
- Typeform captures client assessment data through customized forms
- Active Campaign receives classification results directly into their CRM workflow
- Postmark delivers personalized insights via email to both clients and internal teams
- Real-time processing provides instant results the moment a form is submitted
Implementation Approach
We used modern DevOps practices to ensure a smooth, reliable deployment:
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
Every component was defined in code, making the entire system reproducible, version-controlled, and easy to maintain. This approach eliminates configuration drift and ensures consistent deployments.
Automated Deployment Pipeline
GitHub Actions provides one-click deployments with built-in testing and validation. This automation eliminated human error and enabled zero-downtime updates, ensuring the system remains available during improvements.
Enterprise-Grade Technology Stack
- AWS Lambda for serverless computing
