Portfolio

Project with Ollie

Unknown

**Challenges:** Each individual application instance served as a single point of failure, designed with a specific purpose and lacking replaceability or temporary functionality. Developers invested considerable time in manual deployments to servers, reducing their ability to enhance the product. System upgrades were also problematic, as it was challenging to take instances offline without interrupting their designated tasks. Additionally, development environments became inconsistent due to configuration drift, and code deployment involved a mix of manual processes and Ansible tasks. **Solution:** To minimize disruption for the development team and allow adequate training time for the company's engineers in Docker and containerized environments, we implemented a two-phase strategy. Initially, we transitioned to an environment structured with configuration templates that could be deployed repeatedly. Next, we provided team training and moved to a containerized approach. Our goals included standardizing immutable infrastructure, establishing a clearly defined deployment process, and automating deployment through a CI/CD pipeline. **Result:** We evolved from a custom-built environment reliant on console-launched resources to a fully automated CI/CD pipeline. Now, Ollie’s engineers can concentrate on developing product features rather than managing infrastructure. Automated deployments reduce human error and ensure consistent integration and delivery. Standardized components, defined in code, create a system that is easily manageable and understandable for team members.

Project with Tinybop

Unknown

**Challenges:** Funbrain.com faced significant issues with over 2.5 million requests requiring 250GB of bandwidth each day. The existing Linux, PHP, and various libraries were outdated by several versions, and the codebase was more than 20 years old. Some of the technologies used were new to the team. The migration involved transferring multiple servers and Postgres databases with the stipulation of no downtime or service interruptions. Additionally, contractual obligations dictated that the entire transition be completed within an 8-week timeframe. **Solution:** The new site successfully managed higher traffic volumes at a reduced cost and improved response times while introducing fault tolerance that was previously absent. The engineering team established a testing environment and a straightforward deployment process for production. We also trained the new developers and supplied comprehensive documentation for configuration management and monitoring. Overall, the migration was deemed a significant success, completed on schedule and within budget.

AWS Account Strategy Case Study

Unknown

Challenges: The company began with a small development team, resulting in each unit independently creating their own products. Some services operated on AWS while others relied on third-party providers like Digital Ocean. As the company expanded, managing these resources effectively became increasingly difficult, leading to issues such as configuration drift, fragmented knowledge, and security vulnerabilities. It was crucial to establish an architecture that adhered to best practices and the well-architected principles of AWS. To support ongoing growth, it was necessary to develop processes and methodologies that could be utilized well into the future. Solution: The company’s DevOps environment transformed from a chaotic mix of services into a streamlined, multi-account architecture that could scale to accommodate significant growth. The client’s DevOps team received comprehensive training on the new systems and was supported throughout the transition to taking full ownership of their new environment.
