Enhancing Infrastructure for a Travel Company through Cloud and Application Modernization

Challenge

A leading EMEA-based travel company provides comprehensive tour packages, from flight bookings to visa services and more. At the forefront of the online travel market, the organization must constantly modernize its systems to meet global travel demands. However, challenges in provisioning infrastructure led to significant time and effort consumption by in-house teams, and its existing infrastructure struggled with traffic fluctuations, negatively impacting business outcomes. It also faced issues with application delivery using the container orchestration platform. The brand engaged Material to address these challenges and modernize its systems and applications.

Approach

Created a comprehensive application modernization strategy that included a detailed assessment of the existing IT infrastructure
Migrated systems to AWS to leverage cloud capabilities
Built a scalable container orchestration platform using Amazon EKS on AWS
Automated deployment process by implementing a CI/CD pipeline for continuous delivery on Spinnaker to ensure faster release/ rollback of application features with zero downtime
Leveraged Terraform for infrastructure orchestration and environment replication

Outcomes

Our collaboration unlocked measurable outcomes: the client’s in-house team reduced its build time by 40% by automating the provisioning of infrastructure. Additionally, they saw a significant decrease in latency by 70-80%, leading to improved performance and dynamic load balancing. Our solutions allowed them to effectively handle traffic fluctuations, access real-time visibility and diagnostics during pipeline execution and release application features faster, keeping up with evolving customer expectations and enhancing user experiences.
