Social Success Story: Job Aid for Ukrainian Refugees
Wabion accompanies job platform for Ukrainian refugees in fast and secure move to Google Cloud
Takeaways:
- To provide access to the labor market for refugees from Ukraine, jobaidukraine.com relies on the secure and reliable infrastructure of Google Cloud.
- Wabion supports the pro bono initiative not only with technology consulting, but also with expertise to accelerate the development environment for the platform.
- Wabion support also ensures the smooth operation of the platform after the move to Google Cloud.
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, more than six million people have already fled Ukraine. The UN refugee agency UNHCR has estimated that there are a further 3 million people in need of help on the ground.
jobaidukraine.com is a free job platform of the pro bono initiative “Traders help traders”. The two founders and entrepreneurs Marcus Diekmann and Christian Weis offer refugees from Ukraine a perspective in Germany. More than 15 volunteer developers from various companies and industries have come together to build and develop the job platform.
To optimize the technical foundation of the platform, the team in charge decided to move the platform to the Google Cloud – with Wabion – Part of Accenture as an experienced Google Cloud Partner on board.
THE GOOGLE CLOUD AS A SECURE ENVIRONMENT FOR SENSITIVE DATA
Refugees from Ukraine can upload their CVs, certificates and other application documents via the job platform. To protect this sensitive data from hacker attacks and other potential threats, Wabion has set up a secure user management on the Google Cloud Platform. This secures the access of developers working on the job platform and ensures, among other things, the prevention of identity theft, which is very important from a compliance perspective. Google Cloud’s unique infrastructure ensures real-time monitoring of all activities and blocks hacker attacks in advance.
Architecture of the Google Cloud environment for jobaidukraine.com co-developed by Wabion – Part of Accenture.
To make the developers’ work more efficient, Wabion has created a development environment based on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) including a deployment pipeline. This allows the volunteer developers to focus on coding.
AFTER IMPLEMENTATION IS BEFORE OPTIMIZATION
Jobaidukraine.com has already helped many refugees from Ukraine to find a new job. In the process, Wabion provides support for technical issues and assists in the continuous optimization of the job platform, which benefits from the move to Google Cloud in several ways:
- Security for the Google Cloud environment
- Transparency for cost management
- Protection against hacking, identity theft and other threats
- Adherence to compliance guidelines
- Acceleration of the development process thanks to Wabion’s technical expertise
