Project overview

Software Mind is helping our client achieve a smooth, cost-effective platform transformation. The biggest goals include moving from GCP to AWS, increasing observability, implementing smart automation and enabling smoother deployments.

Client background

A sports betting platform that operates internationally under the Anjouan internet gaming license.

Goals

To transform a platform from a reactive environment to a predictable, high-quality delivery ecosystem that uses automation to achieve speed and consistency for faster, safer and smarter releases. To reduce stage environment and production costs, introduce effective monitoring, establish QA processes and futureproof the platform so that it performs at a high level and evolves to changing business goals.

Results

Lower costs

Reducing stage environment costs by 70 and shared resources by 45%.

Faster testing

Lowering the release testing phase from five days to just one or two.

Increased automation

Reaching close to 1,000 backend automation executed across all major services and achieving automated validation of major platform upgrades with minimal manual effort.
