KEY INSIGHTS
Microservices and Logging
Migrated to a microservices architecture and implemented an ELK-based centralized logging system to simplify error detection
Cost Reduction and Efficiency
Automation led to a 73% cost reduction and 6x faster software deployments, transforming the client’s delivery process
About
The client’s platform was designed to collect enterprise-level data for delivering comprehensive analytics to end users. To accelerate their business growth, the client decided to adopt a DevOps culture and automate manual tasks in their delivery and deployment process.
They contacted us to seek assistance in adopting CI/CD practice, improving their overall delivery process, and minimizing disruptions.
Project Overview
Our technical team had to enable Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery, move the core operations to the AWS cloud, simplify error detection before releases, and speed up software deployments.
Build release process across applications
Our team automated existing deployments and made it easier to roll out new functionality, as well as integrated the test environment into the process.
Migration to microservices architecture
we architected microservices through containers that equal the number of web instances to provide a separate executable environment for each vital feature;
Build logs collecting system from scratch using ELK stack
inserting centralized logging that identifies server problems.
