The Need
A global enterprise delivering electronics and computing solutions was operating on a monolithic legacy application that hindered agility, scalability, and cost efficiency. The organization needed expert support to modernize its DevOps processes as part of a broader transformation effort.
Gorilla Logic was selected as the partner of choice to:
- Improve and enhance DevOps processes
- Implement and automate a CI/CD pipeline
- Introduce automated testing practices
- Transition from manual to automated QA frameworks
The Solution
Recognizing Gorilla Logic’s proven track record of delivering DevOps transformation at enterprise scale, the client gave the team full ownership of the initiative, including strategy, tooling, and implementation.
Key elements of the approach included:
- CI/CD/CE Pipeline Creation: Implemented Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Exploration pipelines to support agile development and deployment practices.
- Cloud-Agnostic Codebase: Wrote infrastructure-agnostic code to provide platform flexibility and reduce cloud vendor lock-in.
- Microservices Architecture: Broke down the legacy monolith into 30 independently deployable microservices using an Infrastructure on Demand pattern—improving uptime, scalability, and maintainability.
- Automated Provisioning with Ansible: Automated application stack creation and provisioning workflows, enabling rapid disaster recovery, fewer manual errors, faster deployment, and built-in quality controls.
- Kubernetes Migration: Shifted from a persistently running cloud-hosted solution to a Kubernetes-based environment, reducing waste and optimizing performance across dev and prod.
- Multi-Language Support: Increased global user accessibility by adding localization support for Chinese, Spanish, English, and German.
“They provide a lot of great suggestions to help us make improvements in our processes or approach to projects. It's great to work with a vendor willing to speak up when it comes to helping us be more effective.”–Senior Manager |
