VM Based architecture to Containers

About

A well-known global software company enabling omnichannel retailing help brands and retailers to easily scale, reach, and delight customers across channels.

The Need

The global omnichannel solutions provider wanted to migrate to AWS and needed to ensure faster scalability, high availability, and security. Containerization would bring the capabilities they expected and help them streamline app release management.

Noventiq’s Solution

We customized 80 to 90 microservices that differed for each customer instance. We also containerized frontend and backend and parametrized a single microservice across all customers.

Highlights

Multiple services hosted on an ECS instance for resource optimization
ECS Fargate ensures easy scaling and helps focus on building and designing applications.
Batch processing with a schedule based mechanism - they were overprovisioned on Azure and their VMs were running 24/7. Post containerization, scheduling ensures optimal resource and cost optimization.
Robust app security with access controls, container images scanning and best practices
Application release management is more streamlined.
