Challenge

A developer of gaming apps with millions of users struggled with legacy tech in the software development lifecycle. A slow speed of infrastructure provisioning due to manual processes, inconsistencies among branches in different areas of their environments, a lack of scaling mechanisms and ad hoc infrastructure sizing led to a waste of resources and money. The client turned to ITRex for a reliable and robust Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solution.

Specifically, our team took on the following challenges:
●
Review and understand the client’s existing hosting architecture for successful migration to a new cloud platform
●
Implement IaC to provision and manage cloud infrastructure at scale and accelerate DevOps practices
●
Collaborate with back-end and mobile app teams in developing and implementing new branching strategies for automated builds and deployments
●
Design load test cases for back-end artifacts
●
Develop configuration models for automated infrastructure provisioning and auto scaling based on load test results and app performance metrics

Solution

●
Scalable and repeatable infrastructure on AWS
●
A mechanism for creating and managing mobile app and back-end artifacts
●
A complete scaling solution enabling new instances to warm up before sharing the load
●
Branching strategies and automated builds to achieve continuous delivery
●
DMS and DynamoDB data migration to the Snowflake cloud data platform
●
Load test scenarios in the Gatling open-source performance testing tool
●
Implementation of infrastructure changes within minutes
●
Simple AD local authentication relying on an in-built database for VPN clients
●
Auto scaling with the New Relic app performance monitoring tool
●
Automated reporting using Snowflake and marketing analytics tools like AppFlyer or Braze
●
IaC deployment through the execution of the source code for the development of three new apps

Impact

●
With increased productivity at each stage of the software development lifecycle, the client has achieved dramatic savings on hiring costs and engineers’ salaries
●
The scaling solution and automated infrastructure deployment has allowed developers to concentrate more on higher-value tasks, freeing them from manual work
●
The IaC solution has provided huge cost savings on infrastructure by allowing scaling resources up and down with ease and paying only for the cloud computing resources actually used
●
Rapid scaling has considerably reduced time to market for apps developed by the client
