• 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.
