St Marys Hospital Amsterdam

St. Mary’s Hospital Amsterdam is an informational healthcare website designed to provide patients with clear access to services and resources.

The platform emphasizes trust, accessibility, and ease of navigation for a broad audience.

• Presenting medical information clearly and responsibly
• Designing for diverse age groups and needs
• Maintaining accuracy across all content

• Monolithic CMS Architecture: Deployed a monolithic CMS with page-caching configurations rather than a headless frontend stack to keep administration simple. The trade-off of slightly higher server processing latency was mitigated using CDN optimizations.
• Database Catalog Indexing: Used relational database-level indexing for simple catalog lookups. Accepted the trade-off of higher memory usage on database nodes to avoid the operational complexity of integrating an external search engine.

• Service and department information
• Patient resource and contact pages
• Clear navigation for critical information
• Accessible, professional design

• Deadlock Mitigation: Discovered that database queries during concurrent updates must execute in sequential order using transaction blocks to prevent locking issues.
• Schema Drift Control: Established strict migrations scripts checks to verify database schema consistency across staging and production environments.
