The company not only serves as a technology provider but also acts as a partner, helping online stores meet market challenges and facilitating future growth.
Problem Statement
When starting the business, a crucial decision was whether to choose a locally installed or cloud-based infrastructure. Traditional, locally installed IT infrastructures often cannot keep pace with rapid growth, hindering quick responses to market changes. Additionally, high maintenance costs and outdated technologies obstruct efficient operations.
Greenfield investments, where companies create entirely new infrastructures from scratch, present unique challenges. For such projects, businesses need to consider not only current requirements but also anticipate future growth and needs. The biggest challenge for the company was to establish a system that meets both current logistics demands and adapts to future growth.
Solution Overview
Thanks to the experts with high-level knowledge and experience in cloud technology, a complex cloud-based infrastructure was developed. The chosen platform was Azure, one of the leading cloud services on the market. The primary goal was to create a scalable and reliable environment that could accommodate both current and future business needs, utilizing solutions from the Azure platform. With Azure App Services, the team could quickly and flexibly develop and operate applications, while Azure SQL provided secure and efficient data management.
Ensuring data and service availability and reliability was crucial. They achieved this through geo-redundant solutions, meaning the system was deployed in multiple geographic locations. This ensures uninterrupted service operation, even in the case of critical failures, as the system remains accessible from another location.
Uniqueness of the Solution
