Flentas Approach

Flentas helped define and implement the overall DevOps processes, effectively and effeciently, thereby, addressing the challenges of continuous application delivery. We helped them with easy and smooth transitioning to AWS. We deep dived into the existing architecture and had to completely re-design which took us three months to implement. There was a need to release backend changes more frequently for small fixes or new features. Due to manual releases, it was difficult to manage deployments across a fleet of backend servers.

Outcome of the Project

Smooth Collaboration Developers, Testers and Operations teams collaborate more effectively and transparently by being a part of the same automated process

Speed Up Software Release Cycles Increased frequency of releases which accelerated product improvement at a faster pace

Serverless Computing AWS DevOps services have a pay-as-you-go pricing model and are server-less which makes them less burdensome from cost and maintenance perspective.

Automated Deployment Automatic release and deployments reduces human errors and increases reliability

Increased User Engagement Reduced user drop-offs by 99.99%
