The Challenge
- Network Improvement: Low-latency connectivity for real-time discount validation.
- Traffic Surges: Handling 12–20x spikes without performance impact.
- Data Security: Securing merchant and consumer data with compliant APIs.
- Cloud Costs: Optimizing infrastructure through structured FinOps.
- B2B & B2C Complexity: Balancing consumer traffic with merchant operations.
- 24/7 Proactive Monitoring: Continuous monitoring with real-time alerts and rapid incident resolution.
The Way We Helped
DEVRIMS designed and deployed a secure, auto-scalable hybrid cloud architecture powered by AWS and Google Cloud Platform. The infrastructure was engineered specifically for campaign-intensity demand patterns, aligning scaling logic with real-time user engagement instead of traditional CPU-based triggers.
We implemented intelligent auto-scaling driven by campaign activity and validation request volume, ensuring precise performance during demand spikes without unnecessary overprovisioning during regular traffic periods.
A complete DevOps transformation was introduced through CI/CD pipeline, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), containerized services, and standardized deployment workflows. This reduced operational complexity, strengthened disaster recovery readiness, and accelerated feature rollouts.
Through structured FinOps governance, including workload tagging, rightsizing, storage lifecycle optimization, and reserved/savings plans. This resulted in a 63% reduction in monthly cloud costs compared to the previous environment.
Security was embedded at every architectural layer, with WAF protection, DDoS mitigation, encrypted API gateways, vulnerability scanning, and centralized monitoring ensuring end-to-end protection and logical integration isolation.
DEVRIMS provides 24/7 proactive monitoring, real-time incident response, and continuous optimization to maintain platform stability during traffic surges and major campaign launches.
