🎯 Project Goal Value-Ad needed to drastically speed up its go-to-market deployment process, reducing the timeline from weeks to days (or even minutes) to support rapid client growth and onboarding.

Kubernetes & Rancher Adoption Re-architected Value-Ad’s infrastructure by introducing Kubernetes for container orchestration and Rancher as an intuitive management platform. This enabled a modern, scalable, and automated deployment pipeline.

Resource Efficiency & Cost Savings Replaced manual client-specific EC2 stacks with Kubernetes’ shared resource model. Optimized CPU and memory usage, and shifted from On-Demand EC2 to Spot Instances—cutting AWS costs by 80%.

Seamless, Template-Driven Deployment Developed easy-to-use deployment templates requiring minimal inputs (client name, environment). This empowered developers and testers to launch client stacks with a few clicks.

Scalability & Multi-Environment Support Ensured every client application runs reliably across at least three availability zones and environments (test, production), boosting uptime and fault tolerance.

Security & Compliance Alignment Designed the solution to meet strict client compliance standards, critical for Value-Ad’s enterprise clientele.

Deployment time reduced from weeks to 15 minutes.

AWS cost savings of 80% per deployment.

Improved scalability, reliability, and security posture.

Simplified management for cross-functional teams.
