The Challenge

RetailMax was running their entire e-commerce infrastructure on expensive on-premise servers with manual deployment processes taking 4+ hours. They experienced frequent downtime during deployments, had no disaster recovery plan, and struggled to scale during peak shopping seasons. Infrastructure costs were unsustainable and developer productivity was low.

Our Solution

We migrated their entire infrastructure to AWS using Kubernetes for container orchestration. Implemented Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, built comprehensive CI/CD pipelines with GitLab CI, set up auto-scaling based on traffic, and established monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana. The migration was done gradually with zero downtime using a blue-green deployment strategy.
