Platform modernization

The challenge

Term-start traffic spikes brought the platform down each year, deployments took a full weekend and the codebase had grown too risky to change quickly.

Our approach

Step 1

Technical audit and incremental migration plan, service by service

Step 2

Containerization, infrastructure as code and autoscaling

Step 3

CI/CD with automated tests gating every merge

Step 4

Observability: logging, tracing and on-call runbooks
