Velotio partnered with the customer in 2022. Initially, the team involved a DevOps lead, an iOS lead, and a platform lead, which has now grown to a large team working on multiple facets of the project. Our comprehensive strategy involved leveraging cutting-edge technologies and employing the best DevOps practices to ensure a robust transformation.
Infrastructure Design and Provisioning - We utilized Terraform to design, provision, and manage infrastructure as code (IaC), enabling consistent and repeatable infrastructure deployments across different environments. We also established a uniform and scalable framework for application deployment. This involved architecting the foundational components necessary to support various application workloads.
Kubernetes Cluster Deployment - Leveraging kURL, we deployed the Kubernetes clusters, which helped furnish a resilient container orchestration platform for application workloads. This encompassed configuring and optimizing Kubernetes clusters to meet specific performance and scalability requirements. Additionally, we implemented Prometheus to monitor Kubernetes infrastructure, enabling real-time insights into system health.
AWS EKS Migration - Using Terraform, we meticulously transitioned developmental, staging, and production environments to AWS EKS with minimal disruption and optimal resource utilization.
Automated Deployments with Flux and Kustomize - We implemented Flux for GitOps-style continuous deployment and Kustomize for customizing Kubernetes manifest, allowing for an optimized release cycle of applications. Further, we crafted Kustomize overlays to facilitate efficient configuration management, enhancing deployment flexibility and reducing manual intervention.
Multi-Cloud implementation - Velotio contributed to the migration of storage resources from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to AWS, safeguarding data integrity and ensuring uninterrupted service availability. This involved devising robust strategies for data migration and replication across multi-cloud environments.
Security and Certificate Management - We implemented HashiCorp Vault for secrets management and took complete ownership and maintenance of it. This bolstered security posture across the infrastructure and ensured compliance with industry standards.
Storage Management Enhancement - We addressed challenges associated with RookCeph volumes by transitioning to the AWS Elastic Block Store (EBS) Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver. This significantly improved storage management capabilities and enhanced data reliability within the infrastructure.
Build Pipeline Orchestration - Using CircleCI build pipelines, the integration and deployment of applications were efficiently orchestrated and managed. This involved configuring automated workflows, conducting version control, and optimizing build performance to expedite the delivery of software artefacts.
Optimized Content Delivery with Fastly Integration - We leveraged Fastly as a robust content delivery network (CDN) solution for domain management and advanced security measures, ensuring optimized content delivery across the network.
Enhanced Database Performance - Successfully migrated from Redis StatefulSets to Elasticache, enhancing database performance and scalability to meet growing demands effectively.
Datadog and PagerDuty - As part of our ongoing developments, we're integrating Datadog and PagerDuty into the infrastructure to bolster performance and reliability and establish a comprehensive surveillance system.
Helm Chart Management - In our effort to streamline application deployment across all environments, we are implementing Helm charts to manage Kubernetes applications effectively. These charts are meticulously tailored to meet each application's unique requirements, encapsulating all essential configurations, dependencies, and resources. Additionally, they serve as blueprints for deploying and managing applications.
