When the client first turned to Alpacked, it only had a monolith and only one application on EC2s, without infrastructure, cubers, pipelines, etc. So, the development team of 6 people, most of which were based in India, created it from scratch.

The application had to be properly installed in Amazon using IaaC.

The client came with a request to create a SaaS solution on Ansible in a month; they were going to make a scalable infrastructure using Ansible and EC2 instances. The challenge was also to prevent downtime when deploying new changes.

Previously, all application maintenance rested on one person, and they were looking for a specialist who would help automate everything. The client later concluded that the scope of the work was larger than expected and decided to seek help from experts.

Implementing DevOps from Scratch.

The main challenge was to complete a highly technical, complicated project in the short term. Despite having to build the system from scratch, the Alpacked team delivered the main solution in less than 3 weeks.

Main challenges:

  • All deployments involved manual changes, which led to mistakes and often downtimes.

  • No opportunity to debug issues and reprocess failed transactions.
     

Solutions:

  • Offered a new tech stack: AWS Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch, and X-Ray.
  • Implemented main nodes of the data pipeline, data storage, and caching, data sync flows.
  • Rebuilt and optimized microservices.
  • Implemented AWS, serverless framework, and event tracking using chosen tech stack.
  • Implemented logging and monitoring tools.
     

Achievements:

  • Improved the quality of the service since there were no missing transactions and all data eventually synced.
  • Refactored the application and decreased the number of API requests to BrightPearl by 5 times.
  • Hosting costs per Serverless pipeline per month: $18.31.

Review Summary

I have been referred to them by a friend who used their services before and highly recommended them. I started with Alpacked with one person on a specific and well-defined project in early 2020. My team and I were impressed by the quality of the work they delivered as well as respecting the milestones and timeline. We subsequently expanded our engagement with them. As of today, they are a premiere and trusted partner of our Cloud Operations.

Review Summary

Ruslan and the entire Alpacked Devops team are amazing! The team was contracted to support us with AWS and DevOps experience. They were tasked to implement IaaS using AWS CDK (Cloudformation) and Gitlat CI/CD. They are very knowledgeable and experienced in devops, have a great positive working attitude. The team was very good at communicating and interfacing directly with our development teams. The team was great at planning but even when we were going live and we had issues they went out of their way to resolve problems very quickly and worked side by side with our developers supporting them along the way.
I have really enjoyed working with the Alpacked team!

Company Response

We've come a long way with Dejan, and since the beginning of the project till now we've changed a lot our view on delivery and customer satisfaction. Reviews of projects that we finished recently can prove this. Speaking of the pragmatic solutions , the things that client is talking about we didn't like as well, and were pushing to have more simple CI/CD solutions compared to what customer asked us to develop. If you ask us what conclusions we did - we would push harder and improved on persuading skills, to make sure explain to the client to pick the best solution. Nonetheless we are happy to work with Dejan, and ready show the quality we have now in terms of our delivery. Learning from past experience and experimenting to improve the processes, what is it, if not true DevOps

Review Summary

Being a startup, we primarily wanted to focus our time on building. At a point, we just spent too much time maintaining and setting up the required infrastructure. Looking for a partner to help us with this, we came across Alpacked. Their knowledge of AWS as well as Pulumi were an ideal match for us. Alpacked has proved to have a knowledgable team and helped us tackle our remaining infrastructure tasks with ease. The communication with their team went fluent and I can overall recommend their services.
