Promotional traffic that once caused outages now runs at 99.99% availability, with 40% faster tenant onboarding, a validated one-hour recovery objective, and zero security incidents since the rebuild.

Outcomes shipped

A leading U.S. automotive e-commerce platform for Fortune 500 retail partners came to Armakuni for multi-tenant cloud platform modernization: container orchestration, auto-scaling for promotional peaks, tenant data isolation, compliance automation, marketing automation integration.

The challenge

A platform modernization engagement that grew into ongoing engineering ownership of CarSaver's cloud architecture, multi-tenant platform, security posture, and marketing automation integration.

Scale: Multi-tenant SaaS platform serving Fortune 500 retail partners, dealer networks, lenders, and insurers across the U.S. car buying, leasing, renting, and trade-in market. High-volume traffic with promotional peaks driving sustained spikes.

What we built

Armakuni delivered multi-tenant cloud platform modernization: container orchestration, auto-scaling for promotional peaks, tenant data isolation, compliance automation, marketing automation integration. The engagement ran as multiple fixed-scope SOWs covering infrastructure containerization and auto-scaling, multi-tenant architecture rebuild, security and compliance automation, and marketing automation integration.

The outcomes

5 measurable outcomes shipped across the engagement. The ones that moved the business the most:

99.99%
system availability across the promotional traffic that used to cause outages
40%
faster tenant onboarding for new Fortune 500 partners
75%
operational efficiency gain across marketing and customer workflows
Zero
Zero security incidents since the new architecture went live

99.99% system availability across the promotional traffic that used to cause outages. Fortune 500 partner campaigns now convert at the rate the marketing spend was sized for, and CarSaver can commit to availability terms in enterprise contracts.

40% faster tenant onboarding for new Fortune 500 partners. Partner activation shifts from a multi-week engineering project to a standardized provisioning exercise that scales with sales rather than constraining it.

75% operational efficiency gain across marketing and customer workflows. Removing the manual coordination that consumed capacity lets CarSaver grow the partner footprint without scaling the operations team.

1-hour Recovery Time Objective established and validated. Routine disaster recovery exercises confirm the continuity bar that Fortune 500 and regulated lender partners require as a contract condition.

Zero security incidents since the new architecture went live. Platform-generated compliance evidence replaces the manual scrambles that previously preceded every partner audit.
