Convert your Monolithic Applications to a Microservices Design to Accelerate your Deployment Schedule

Microservice Architecture is similar to service-oriented architecture but it arranges an application as a collection of loosely coupled services, which are fine-grained and the protocols are lightweight. Let’s look at a real-life example (case study) of how Charter Global can help enhance the success of your business.

About the Client

The client provides company fleets with location-based services and advanced safety features which improve a vehicle’s performance through a smarter driving experience. The client’s technology enables clients to connect their vehicles to multiple networks, providing navigation, communications, and security.

The Challenge

As the ability to connect multiple devices grows, so does the volume of support requests, which can number in the millions daily. The growing demand for secure, connected car capabilities required the client to develop and update its telematics applications regularly and rapidly to improve the customer experience. Development in a monolithic structure can be slow. Continuous deployment is difficult, and scaling the application can be difficult and costly.

Solution

The client engaged Charter Global to provide solutions that would enable it to deploy updates and new applications more rapidly and frequently. Charter Global recommended the client convert its monolithic applications to a microservices design that uses open source products for cost efficiency. This would also allow developers to identify and diagnose issues quickly, and it would provide the ability to leverage cloud architecture to control costs. This structure would provide flexible analytics and application performance, and it eliminates any long-term commitment to a technology stack, making it easier to adopt new technology.

Results

After implementing the microservices framework developed by Charter Global, the client accelerated its deployment schedule. Its telematics development team was able to rewrite 100 services in six weeks. Charter Global also played a major role in setting up the CI/CD process for microservices, which helps to deploy any service with the click of a button. This reduces issues and complaints, and the client can focus on providing the best experience for its customers.
