Main Project Steps

The client had an extensive product roadmap and required cloud experts who could help them establish and maintain streamlined processes for quick deliveries. To meet the client’s needs, our DevOps engineers worked on:

  • standardize toolsets,
  • integrate them into a unified system, and
  • enhance the entire workflow.
Our assigned solution architect went through several consecutive project steps needed to streamline feature shipments and enhance platform infrastructure:

  1. Helped the client design microservices architecture from scratch, preparing a relevant infrastructure for handling various instances.

  2. Deployed EKS environments for simplified cluster management and scaling.

  3. Introduced GitOps by implementing ArgoCD-based workflow that enabled frequent, smooth deployments.

  4. Integrated GitHub Actions and Jenkins to streamline CI/CD processes (build, test, deploy) and automate workflows where possible.

  5. Used Terraform to align infrastructure across development, testing, and live environments.

  6. Automated application of security configurations and policies to new instances and environments, decreasing the scope of work and chance of human error.

  7. Secured the API from brute-force attacks and unauthorized access by implementing gateways and protecting it with built-in security policies.

  8. Integrated Prometheus, Grafana, and Loki for a monitoring and logging system that tracks system health and performance.
