Case Study: Operationalizing and Scaling a Supply Chain Integration Application for a Large Tech Company
The Challenge
A large technology company ventured into a new area of technology with a prototype for supply chain integration, allowing users to perform inventory forecasting. The development team had successfully created the prototype but lacked the experience to operationalize it and make it production-ready for global users within the company. They needed a scalable and reliable infrastructure, along with efficient deployment and monitoring capabilities.
The Solution
We partnered with the tech company to build and operationalize the cloud infrastructure needed for the supply chain integration application. Our team of experts:
- Provisioned the cloud infrastructure with autoscaling capabilities, ensuring the application could handle varying workloads.
- Developed CI/CD pipelines for automated testing, deployment, and updates of the application.
- Created monitoring and alerting dashboards to keep track of the infrastructure’s health and usage.
- Integrated an orchestrator to manage and execute workloads efficiently.
- Implemented infrastructure as code, enabling easy rebuilding and modification of the infrastructure when needed.
The Results
By leveraging Digital Warden’s expertise in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and monitoring, the tech company achieved:
- Rapid scaling and reliable performance of the application during heavy loads, ensuring seamless user experience
- Automated processes for testing and deployment, allowing developers to focus on innovation and new projects
- Comprehensive monitoring and alerting, enabling users to track essential events and infrastructure health
- A successful project that allowed the application team to move on without manual intervention or continuous supervision
The operationalization and scaling of the supply chain integration application demonstrated the value of a robust cloud infrastructure and efficient deployment processes in driving innovation and productivity for the tech company.
