Implementing DevOps Automation for a Leading US-Based Industrial Equipment Distributor

Client

The Client is one of the largest industrial equipment distributors in the United States, distributing more than 1.5 million metalworking and other industrial products. 

The Challenge

A part of the client’s existing platform was getting migrated to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and there was a need for: 

• Building containerized pipelines for 30+ APIs and UI apps
• Automating the end-to-end process for both infra and app deployments
• Building automation for various infrastructure services to be provisioned in GCP 
• Enabling cloud-based logging and monitoring for apps and infrastructure

LTM Solution

LTM has played a cavernous and chasmic role in this e-commerce platform for more than a decade now. We are an implementation partner for the client’s e-commerce platforms on GCP and helped automate their infra & app deployment through DevOps.

• Deployed apps in the docker container in GCP to build container pipelines by leveraging the Container & artifact registry. 
• Created reusable and customizable Terraform templates to set up GCP resources
• Used cloud logging and monitoring to analyze logs and track and identify issues
• Enforced security in DevOps pipeline CI workflows to embed with security scans for secrets, binaries, and vulnerabilities 

Business Benefits

• Achieved inter-operability by using GCP container registry and artifact registry
• Reduced time to market by 60% using automation in the dev cycle
• Ensured 15% cost optimization with GCP DevOps adoption 
• Automated security scans of code and flagging of potential vulnerabilities during the development lifecycle
