Retail Cloud Transformation with Microservices and Smarter Infrastructure
The Challenge
The leading retail company was burdened by the high total cost of ownership of their online retail applications and constrained by the limitations of their existing cloud provider. These challenges hindered innovation and scalability. The company sought to reduce infrastructure costs, increase cloud flexibility, and explore Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as a more efficient and future-ready alternative. Their objective was to evaluate GCP for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency—while also upskilling their teams and laying the groundwork for broader cloud adoption.
The Solution
The company successfully migrated their order history application to Google Cloud Platform. This move significantly reduced infrastructure costs and increased flexibility. The application was modernized using a microservices-based architecture, improving scalability and streamlining e-commerce and in-store order management. CI/CD pipelines were introduced to enhance operational efficiency. The migration not only lowered the total cost of ownership but also provided a repeatable blueprint for future IT projects, empowering the organization to accelerate its cloud transformation journey.
The Result
Cost Savings: Operations moved to Google Cloud Platform reduced overall costs, and scalable setup minimized day-to-day expenses.
Enhanced Efficiency: Database and application modernization streamlined processes, setting standards for future projects.
Improved Agility: DevOps principles and CI/CD pipelines accelerated development and deployment, promoting innovation and adaptability.
Future-Proof Infrastructure: calable GCP setup provided a model for ongoing technology improvements and cost-effective operations.
