At Devolut, we understand that networking and security is a critical aspect of business success. One of our clients is an AI-based platform that operates in the security intelligence industry that utilizes data to provide actionable intelligence, enabling organizations to gain better insights into the threats they face.
The client came to us with a challenge - they needed to improve the effectiveness of their platform and ensure that it could handle their growing user base without compromising on reliability. And of course, they needed to keep up with the latest technologies and customer demands. After our initial meetings, we developed a long-term strategy for a comprehensive DevOps plan that aimed to help them scale their platform, enhance security, and improve its reliability. Here’s what we did:
1. Built an infrastructure using Terraform on Google Cloud (GCP)
➡ When we first kicked off the project, one of the top priorities was to set up the necessary infrastructure on GCP for hosting the applications, which we did through Terraform.
2. Migrated legacy applications to Kubernetes clusters
➡ Once we had the infrastructure set up, it was time to migrate those old legacy apps to Kubernetes clusters. Not only did this ensure that the application was scalable, resilient, and flexible, but it also made managing everything a lot easier.
3. Implemented GitHub actions (CI/CD pipelines)
➡ With the application running on Kubernetes clusters, it was then possible for us to implement GitHub actions for continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD). This meant that any changes to the application could be automatically tested and deployed, making the process much faster and more efficient, which improved the speed of software delivery.
4. Developed linters and test automation frameworks
➡ Once we had the CI/CD pipeline up and running, our next step was to create linters and test automation frameworks to improve the overall quality of the codebase and reduce the likelihood of bugs popping up.
5. Conducted security audits and provided assistance with SOC2 and ISO27001 compliance
➡ We then tested the application and ensured it met the required security standards and compliance regulations, thereby providing assurance that the application was secure and in full compliance with necessary standards.
6. Resolved all infrastructure/DevOps related issues
➡ Finally, after all of the above tasks were completed, we took time to address any remaining infrastructure/DevOps-related issues. This task involved fixing any issues that may arise in the deployment, monitoring, and management of the application.
With the assistance of our skilled engineers at Devolut, our client was able to improve the effectiveness of their platform, handle their growing user base, and keep up with the latest technologies and customer demands.
