Single Click Deployment Solution for Multi-Tier Application
Client Requirements
One of Our UAE client offers a product-based application provided as both a cloud module and an on-premises solution. Each client has distinct requirements, with some preferring cloud installation and others opting for an on-premises setup.
Application Overview
The application is a multi-tier system involving the following components
-
EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service): Deployed both on-prem and in the cloud.
-
Docker: Used for containerizing application components.
-
Camunda: A workflow and decision automation platform.
-
Database: Backend storage for application data.
Challenge
Setting up the application infrastructure was time-consuming, taking around 2 to 4 hours depending on internet speed and error rates. The process was similar for both cloud and on-premises installations. Our client sought a solution to reduce setup time and minimize errors.
Proposed Solution: Single Click Deployment
Description
The Single Click Deployment is a Linux shell script designed to automate the entire setup process. The script consolidates all necessary steps, including:
-
Initial system requirements check.
-
Package installation.
-
Failure retries.
-
Application startup.
-
End-to-end setup.
-
Execution
When the client executes the script on a server, it automatically installs all dependencies and starts the application, reducing setup time and errors
Script Efficiency
The script reduces installation time from 2-4 hours to approximately 30-45 minutes. The automation ensures an error-free process, making it more reliable than manual setups.
Benefits
-
Time Efficiency: Reduced setup time to 30-45 minutes.
-
Error Reduction: Automated error handling and retries ensure a smoother installation process.
-
Scalability: The solution is scalable for both cloud and on-premises deployments.
-
User-Friendly: Clients can easily execute the script without needing in-depth technical knowledge.
Client Feedback
The Single Click Deployment solution has received positive feedback from clients. The reduced setup time and error-free installation process have enhanced overall satisfaction and operational efficiency.
Conclusion
Aalam’s innovative Single Click Deployment solution successfully addressed the client’s requirements by significantly reducing setup time and ensuring an error-free deployment process. This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of automation in streamlining complex IT tasks and improving client satisfaction.
