Cloud & DevSecOps for Agile Product Startup

Enabled an Indian project management product startup to achieve secure, cost-effective cloud transformation and DevSecOps excellence by onboarding product modules into a cloud-native, RBAC-controlled architecture.

Objective

  • Cloudification of product code modules for DevSecOps practices
  • Deployment of a rich CICD process for secure supply chain of product modules
  • Establish IP-protection solutions
  • Seamless Change-management process for accelerated release cycles

Our Solution

  • Evaluated Azure, AWS and Digital Ocean cloud platforms for delivering a cost-effective hybrid cloud solution
  • Established a cloud-native architecture leveraging open-source ecosystem and Digital Ocean platform for enriched DevSecOps operations
  • Established a mono-repo pattern with distributed & RBAC enabled development repositories for IP-protection, change management and independent scaling
  • Implemented VPN bridge for secure access to cloud
  • Defined release strategy for product modules

Benefits Delivered

  • Cloudified path for transformation of remotely developed product modules into central RBAC controlled mono-repo structure
  • IP-protections due to inherent development model architecture and centralized assembly units from a mono repo codebase
  • Simplified change management due to transformation into modular services and decoupling of cross-cutting layers into open-source ecosystem complemented by Digital Ocean cloud platform
  • Built-in security as part of devsecops pipelines managed onto Jenkins platform
  • Secure access to cloud platform with the help of VPN bridge
