DevOps Scaling Case Study

Project details

Our team enabled fully automated continuous deployment for a Backend as a Service platform provider

• 

  Customer

  A US-based mobile application development platform provides a Backend as a Service to mobile app developers. This mBaaS solution allows developers to focus solely on the client-side business logic of their applications without worrying about the infrastructure and server-side tasks.

• 

  Team

  The customer requires continuous DevOps services. The team included 2 DevOps specialists and 1 Linux system administrator.

• 

  Challenge

  With a growing demand for their services from mobile app developers, the platform provider needed to scale their DevOps processes so more clients could set up their custom environments on the platform.

• 

  Tasks

  Our client's major requirement was to create a true DevOps environment, where each stage of the development pipeline is automated and agile. We needed to have measures in place to ensure continuous monitoring and immediate troubleshooting.

• 

  Solution

  Our team implemented a software algorithm where any code changes are followed by the creation of a fresh Docker image (based on the changes made), after which, the app deploys in the OpenShift cluster with the updated Docker image. In the process, we configured SSL, connected & adjusted a DST module, and integrated Gitlab, Jenkins, and OpenShift cluster. We integrated and improved CI/CD processes for multiple development teams.

Our Workflow

The project included all the necessary stages from audit to developing algorithms of template environment deployment

• Discovery and audit
• Scope definition
• Solution preparation
• Implementation
• Testing
• Deployment and tuning algorithms
• Interaction and training

Project results

Our client has a fully automated continuous deployment process with real-time monitoring and feedback. As a result of our work, our client got the following benefits:

x5

times faster

Issue detection

x6

times faster

Incident reaction time

40%

faster

Environment deployment

Optimized fault tolerance

Currently, we provide 24/7 technical support for the mobile app development platform and their customer's applications which includes documentation maintenance and troubleshooting.
