About The Client: DERMPRO is a hosted e-commerce and marketing platform designed specifically for the aesthetics services industry.
The Challenge: The client’s eCommerce system was based on a complex cumbersome infrastructure, which required plenty of time and resources to support. They were looking for a reliable DevOps consultant, who would help them set up a much more efficient process. Specifically, they needed our assistance to automate some of the tedious routine operations, reduce deployment time, and enhance application build and release process to make the system more resilient and transparent.
Goals:
1. Reduce the infrastructure maintenance cost
2. Handle the complexity of infrastructure operation.
3. Decrease application builds and release time.
4. Automate routine processes.
5. Save time for troubleshooting and improve visibility.
Results:
1. Decreased infrastructure cost by 70%: Migrated the AWS infrastructure from AWS ECS to a Kubernetes cluster provisioned by Terraform and Packer.
2. Increased build speed by 60% using an optimized CI process with Jenkins, lightweight Docker images, self-hosted Composer repository, and parallel functional tests execution.
3. Automated provision & deployment for new client shops: the provisioning of a new shop now takes 2 hours instead of a few days.
4. Improved the audit and monitoring process: integrated centralized logging and monitoring (AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes clusters, technical and business metrics from the client’s applications).
5. Provided automation for critical operations, such as database backups.
6. Simplified infrastructure management, provisioning and improved disaster recovery with Packer and Terraform as an Infrastructure as Code tool.
Client's Feedback:
"Greg Solutions team provides high-quality DevOps and Cloud engineers that help to speed up the development, decrease infrastructure costs and improve our platform. They’ve delivered a great improvement to our process and scalability."
