Modernizing MebiWB’s app delivery with secure, automated Kubernetes workflows for scalable performance. 

MebiWB’s web and mobile engagement platform faced deployment delays, infrastructure drift, and global performance issues. KnackForge implemented a Kubernetes-based architecture using Amazon EKS, CodePipeline, and CloudFormation to containerize backend services, automate deployments, and accelerate frontend delivery through S3 and CloudFront, all while enhancing scalability and resilience. 

Challenges

• Manual deployments across staging and production increased risk and slowed releases. 
• Backend lacked auto-scaling, leading to performance bottlenecks during usage spikes. 
• Frontend assets weren’t globally optimized, resulting in poor mobile/web load times. 
• No Infrastructure-as-Code led to drift, rollback risks, and inconsistent changes. 
• Needed secure containerization of Django APIs and global delivery of React frontends. 

The Solution

• Deployed containerized Django APIs on Amazon EKS with EC2 node groups across 2 AZs. 
• Hosted React-based portals on Amazon S3 with CloudFront for global low-latency access. 
• Automated builds and deployments using AWS CodePipeline integrated with Azure DevOps. 
• Provisioned full infrastructure via AWS CloudFormation with public/private VPC subnets. 
• Enabled serverless automation using AWS Lambda for CRON tasks, secrets, and alerts. 

 

The Impact

With KnackForge Cloud Services in place, the customer experienced:

• Deployment time reduced from 30–45 minutes to <10 minutes via CI/CD pipelines. 
• Moved from weekly releases to daily/on-demand with no DevOps intervention. 
• Average frontend load time improved by ~40% using CloudFront. 
• CI/CD success rate reached 100% post-go-live with full automation. 
• AWS spend rose modestly ($11 to $89/month), but DevOps time savings worth ~$2,000/month.
