About the project

The client

David Franklin needed a dedicated cloud setup for AI workflow, document management, and automation orchestration.

Project background

Existing workflows (NAN + Pinecone) and Bookstack instances were fragmented and not optimized for scale. The goal was to migrate, secure, and enhance the system on AWS with automation, monitoring, and CI/CD pipelines.

Challenges FAced

Migrating AI workflows and Bookstack without downtime.

Ensuring secure, role-based access for multiple subdomains.

Optimizing PDF ingestion, semantic search, and metadata tagging.

Integrating OpenAI for automated query and document retrieval.

Building CI/CD pipelines, automated backups, and monitoring dashboards.

Carpe Diem's Mission

Deploy a reliable, automated, and scalable environment for AI workflows, PDF management, and n8n orchestration on AWS.

Migrate legacy systems with minimal disruption.

Automate document ingestion, tagging, and AI query processes.

Enable real-time monitoring, logging, and alerting.

Provide thorough documentation and knowledge transfer for long-term maintainability.

"Just wanted to shoot you a message and say that you have put together a great team. This is the best group I have ever worked with over my 17 years of working from home full time."

The goals

Phase 1: Infrastructure Setup & Workflow Migration (MVP)

Centralize AI workflows and document management.

Enable automated, AI-driven ingestion and retrieval of PDF documents.

Provide multi-domain Bookstack hosting with secure access.

Integrate n8n for workflow automation and notifications.

Ensure reliable monitoring, backup, and DevOps practices.

THE Solution

We deployed a fully AWS-based environment combining:

Infrastructure & Migration: EC2 servers with Nginx SSL, hardened security, and optimized resources.

n8n Workflow Automation: Pipelines for PDF ingestion, OCR, metadata tagging, and Pinecone updates.

AI Integration: OpenAI-powered query retrieval and document processing.

Multi-Domain Bookstack: Hosted separate instances for subdomains with role-based access.

DevOps & CI/CD: Docker containerization, automated backups, monitoring via CloudWatch, and alerts for uptime and usage.

Documentation & Handover: Complete guides, architecture diagrams, and live knowledge transfer sessions.

The system now provides secure, scalable, and automated AI-driven document management with robust workflow orchestration.

No budget increase!

No timeline extension!
