The Challenge

  • Transformation of ~6500 Microservices across 175 tech stack to a scalable and composable cloud-native platform within a short span of time.
  • Quick engineering team ramp up to support time-critical onboarding of applications for mega sales campaigns during festival seasons

The Approach

We had taken a systematic approach to categorise the microservices under different groups which need differentiated approach of re-engineering. We had leveraged automation to containerize the microservices, created DevOps pipelines for transformed services and made 100% traffic cutover from old system to the new cloud-native platform.

The Outcome

Re-engineered cloud-native platform dramatically increased the ease of scaling despite being a complex system of hundreds of decentralized applications. The release process efficiency increased adding to the benefit of quick launch of new features.
