Problem Statement
Transbnk operated with VM-based workloads, which, while effective, presented scalability and security challenges. Unstructured resource provisioning led to inefficiencies and escalating costs, while manual workflows introduced operational bottlenecks and delays. To enhance efficiency and strengthen security, Transbnk recognized the need for centralized governance, automation, and a more scalable infrastructure.
Top 3 Achievements
Challenges
Scaling Issues & Unreliable VM-based Deployments
Applications were running on VM infrastructure, incurring cost, complicating scalability and creating single points of failure.
Infrastructure Governance & Cost Overruns
Any user could create AWS resources without restrictions, leading to uncontrolled costs and governance issues.
Scaling Issues & Unreliable VM-based Deployments
Applications were running on VM infrastructure, incurring cost, complicating scalability and creating single points of failure.
Manual Testing & Deployment Delays
Lack of automation increased deployment time and the risk of human errors.
Security & Compliance Gaps
No structured security policies, making the infrastructure vulnerable to attacks and compliance failures.
Managing 2 Applications with 25-30 Microservices Each
Scaling and managing multiple microservices manually was inefficient and error-prone.
Solutions
Transbnk containerized applications using Docker and leveraged Amazon EKS, ensuring scalable, resilient deployments with high availability.
Implemented AWS Organizational Units (OUs) for structured governance and enforced automated resource cleanup policies to prevent unnecessary spending.
Built end-to-end CI/CD pipelines using BuildPiper's one-click, customizable workflows, enabling automated deployments and security checks.
Enforced DevSecOps frameworks, implementing automated security scans and secure build processes across all deployment stages.
Used BuildPiper’s templated workflows, allowing seamless microservices orchestration with minimal manual intervention.
