The client used multiple legacy applications with a highly complex codebase to run its operations. As a result, it had long production lifecycles and spent several person-hours in integration and deployment.

On the technology front, the client faced challenges in the way server-side applications were defined, stored and managed. Its IT team also had to manage the deployment of multiple Kubernetes manifest files.

Iris recommended that the client move to a microservices ecosystem. Here’s how we deployed the solution:

• We defined an enterprise-level DevOps strategy using Helm
• Identified the scope of apps that needed to be on-boarded across the enterprise
• Implemented a DevOps pipeline for microservices on the Kubernetes cluster
• Deployed the infrastructure, dependencies and applications with Kubernetes using Helm
• Delivered continuous improvement through Helm release updates and rollbacks

The DevOps pipeline significantly improved time-to-market new releases.

• 20x faster release cycle
• 40% improvement in quality with end-to-end traceability
• 15x improvement in the mean time to deployment (MTTD)

The Iris team also put in place robust security control and validation processes; and provided for auditable release requests.
