How Canvas Medical Increased Developer Execution Speed and Scaled Its EMR Platform with Aptible

Canvas Medical was founded to build a modern, developer-friendly EMR platform that enables customizable care models and seamless data integration. To support its rapidly growing customer base, Canvas needed an infrastructure solution that could handle security, scalability, and HIPAA compliance—without diverting resources from product innovation.

By choosing Aptible, Canvas was able to scale its infrastructure without hiring a dedicated DevOps team, ensuring compliance while focusing on developer execution speed and enhancing its EMR capabilities.

“Aptible just makes the conversations easier to have because we are able to focus on our unique differentiators, while pointing to a best-in-class infrastructure provider who can ensure compliance and provide secure, scalable hosting for your data with Aptible.”
— David Jantzen, Staff Engineer at Canvas Medical

Aptible's automation, security, and cost optimization allowed Canvas to efficiently manage customized instances for customers, optimize resource allocation with Container Profiles, and streamline deployments with blue-green releases. As Terraform power users, Canvas also benefits from Aptible’s Terraform provider integration, which simplifies infrastructure management and reduces operational overhead.

With Aptible handling infrastructure and compliance, Canvas continues to focus on product innovation and execution speed—delivering a cutting-edge EMR platform without the complexity of managing infrastructure in-house.
