About the Client
The client is an app development company based out of America and having one of their development center at Chennai. They are working on a number of multimedia-based apps. The client was utilising Agile practises for both application integration and deployment. As the client added new functionalities and fixed bugs in existing features, the operations and development teams had to handle additional pressure to deliver a stable app on time.
The ChallengeThe client's application was monolithic in design, and the entire infrastructure was housed on a single virtual machine. The client found it challenging to roll out new features and address faults quickly due to the infrastructure set up. The client was also expanding worldwide, because of which the infrastructure also had to be scaled up frequently and the same was operated manually which led to dependency and outages.
The SolutionThe monolithic architecture was converted to micro services model. Automation was introduced to manage the infrastructure scalability.
