Business needs

  • Adapt and scale development and deployment processes to meet customer demands and product iteration needs.
  • Achieve real-time system performance insights and identify bottlenecks to maintain optimal system operation and user experience.
  • Minimize downtime and ensure data integrity with robust disaster recovery plans.

Suggested solutions from svitla

  • Svitla team has successfully reviewed and unified all environments, designing and documenting a strategy for creating new environments to support development needs and customer requests for additional production environments, up to five per customer.
  • Revamped the deployment strategy by adopting a single template-based pipeline in Azure DevOps, allowing for deploying application services as standalone applications.
  • Restructured CI/CD approach, coupled with a clear distinction between CI and CD processes and controlled artifact management, led to a reduction in total deployment time to approximately one hour over the previously unpredictable durations.
  • Further optimizations were made by reworking Terraform modules to enhance their reusability. This effort minimized the prevalence of similar modules, substantially decreased bugs, and improved code readability.
  • Implemented, tested, and documented disaster recovery scenarios, leveraging the built-in DR features of Azure services such as geo-redundant storage accounts and Azure SQL Database replications. These modifications notably reduced the switching time from over an hour to 10 minutes.
  • The backlog underwent a thorough review, eliminating “technical debt”.
  • Observability was improved by consistently routing logs to New Relic, providing customers with efficient views, capability to trace requests, and to identify performance bottlenecks.
  • Deployed Azure DataFactory across several upper and lower environments, incorporating Self-Hosted Integration Runtime, complete with necessary networking configurations and secret management.
  • Established CI/CD pipelines for Azure DataFactory to streamline updates and maintenance.
