Challenges

As an international company, our client values high project standards and constantly looking to improve them. For this reason, he was keen to find a specialist who could prove himself on a wide range of projects requiring a customized approach, standardizing the infrastructure, and increasing the quality of new and existing projects.

Solution

Our DevOps specialist joined various projects at our client, where he participated in a wide variety of projects:

  • DevOps Engineer became a member of the Shared Infrastructure Team, where he was responsible for standardizing the infrastructure deployed by other teams in their projects. This type of operating model helps normalize operations in large organizations. 
  • Optimization and structure of the ongoing project by The DevOps Engineer, in collaboration with the team. Scope contained created IaC (Infrastructure as Code) for the client’s environment in terms of terraforming modules and implementing new AWS services requested by the team.
  • Implementation and data migration, using AWS services, and preparing docker images for this task. The Python code enabled data migration under strict, time-limited conditions.

 

Result

  • Thanks to the activities of the Shared Infrastructure team, the infrastructure is continually being streamlined and standardized to make it compatible and the project standards consistent. 
  • The creation of IaC has made it possible to stabilize and secure the entire environment, which will be recoverable in the event of a critical situation.

The migration has successfully passed all tests, and the production infrastructure meets technical and operational requirements.


At PGS Software (Xebia now) we are looking for IT partners with certain skills. Our requirements are tailored candidates to the tech stack, engagement, and number of CVs for each position, and smooth communication. We speak with NDS in the same language.

We have picked New Digital Street because of our huge experience in the finance sector. They quickly set up a team of 15 engineers for our new fintech client from Saudi Arabia. The end client achieved quick scaling possibilities and could move on with the project.

We were looking for a solution that adjusts the product offer for a specific customer based on purchasing intentions, and NDS provided us with a team of engineers who built such a mechanism.
