myDr

The myDr site provides health and nutrition information along with Consumer Medicines Information documents for several thousand medications and is a CakePHP application running on self-managed AWS EC2 instances with a number of dependencies on other AWS services.

My primary involvement in this project was the ongoing maintenance of the application and the servers on which it runs, including recovering these from a recent period of downtime due to misconfiguration by the previous maintainers of the app.

Recently myDr began licencing its content and I was tasked with building a standalone application to serve this content within an embedded iframe on the websites of clients who have been licenced to provide this content to their own users.
