High-volume CRM and Order Management provider came to Armakuni for full infrastructure migration from Origo DC and Rackspace to AWS EKS, hybrid cloud automation, database migration, and ongoing managed operations.
The challenge
A funded assessment sprint became a full infrastructure migration engagement that is now running as an ongoing managed operations retainer. Armakuni entered through an AWS-funded discovery phase, executed the full migration, and embedded a Flexible Engineering POD to run the platform on an ongoing basis.
Scale: 900+ data processing tasks on-premises, 5 independent VMs (FTP, web, and task servers), CRM platform serving e-commerce and direct marketing businesses globally.
What we built
Armakuni delivered full infrastructure migration from Origo DC and Rackspace to AWS EKS, hybrid cloud automation, database migration, and ongoing managed operations. The engagement ran as 3 SOWs: Task Migration Assessment (Phase 1 discovery and roadmap), Task Migration (Phase 2 execution), Flexible Engineering POD (Phase 3 ongoing managed operations). AWS funded the work at $19,800.
The outcomes
6 measurable outcomes shipped across the engagement. The ones that moved the business the most:
80-90% reduction in manual VM resource allocation. The engineering team is no longer spending its time provisioning and rebalancing infrastructure. Karpenter and KEDA handle all scaling automatically in response to real-time demand, which means engineers can focus on the product rather than keeping the lights on.
Sub-5-minute auto-scaling response for database workloads.. Demand spikes that previously required manual intervention, and caused performance degradation while engineers scrambled to respond, are now absorbed automatically. What used to take hours of engineering time now takes under five minutes and requires no one to act.
15-30% cost reduction across the infrastructure. Self-hosted MariaDB Galera clusters on EKS deliver full customer isolation at a fraction of the cost of separate managed database instances. Combined with automatic right-sizing through Karpenter and KEDA, the platform is meaningfully cheaper to run than the on-premises…
100% of credentials in AWS Secrets Manager with encryption, automatic rotation, and a full audit trail. The production passwords that had sat exposed in a code repository since the platform was first built are gone. Every secret is now encrypted, automatically rotated so that stolen credentials quickly lose their value, and governed by role-based access with a complete log of…
All 900+ tasks and all 5 servers migrated and running in production on AWS.. Konnektive's entire on-premises infrastructure across Origo DC and Rackspace has been moved. The operational overhead and scaling constraints of two third-party data centers no longer exist.
Full real-time observability across the platform, for the first time in its history.. The team went from finding out about problems when customers called to finding out before customers experience anything. Every workload is instrumented, every anomaly triggers an alert, and the platform's health is visible in real time.
Built on AWS
The production environment runs on 13 first-party AWS services. Delivered under our AWS Migration and Modernization, Cloud Native Development, DevOps Engineering competencies.
What's next
Ongoing platform optimization, cost governance, and continued Flexible Engineering POD retainer. Potential expansion of POD scope as the migrated platform scales.
