We managed to meet all the goals we set out to achieve. Despite not being able to implement the best-case scenario we envisioned initially, our team provided KLER with a scalable, highly-available, reliable and durable infrastructure which continues to serve as a future-proof basis for further business growth.
Automated scaling, load balancing and resource management took many burdens off of employees, simultaneously allowing for a more efficient allocation of resources based on actual demand, capable of automatically reacting to high short-term variance.
KLER’s technical teams suffer from drastically less configuration friction and finally have a reliable development and testing environment at their disposal. A well thought-out CI/CD pipeline binding it with the production environment gives them the necessary confidence to experiment and innovate, without the risk of taking down the client’s entire online presence in case of a mistake.
Automated processes replaced many manual tasks which previously – and frequently – took hours to complete, while the overall architecture that is now in place lends itself naturally to automate even further menial labor. It is now easier than ever for KLER to focus its resources on its core competencies and meet actual business goals as it looks towards the future, instead of being bogged down by legacy.
As this case exemplifies, it is not sufficient to simply move one’s infrastructure to a public cloud to actually reap all the benefits that are commonly associated with such a migration. Without proper practices and the right mix of expert knowledge and experience – or simply a partner like Chaos Gears – such a move can leave you confused as to why all the promised benefits did not materialize in practice.
Last but not least, the company is no longer left on its own, lacking any documentation of its infrastructure whatsoever. Having established the key ingredients to the client’s success online, we continue to cooperate with KLER, providing on-going operational support as it keeps moving forward.
