Client
Synchrony
Stamford, United States of AmericaProject Summary
Orangemantra delivered end-to-end DevOps integration and cloud strategy for a consumer financing platform (Synchrony), migrating roughly 80% of workloads to AWS and modernizing deployment practices. The engagement included CI/CD automation, Kubernetes containerization of 50+ microservices, observability (ELK, Prometheus/Grafana), disaster recovery, and a Compliance-as-Code framework. The work shortened deployment cycles, improved uptime, accelerated incident resolution, and helped the client pass a surprise FDIC audit with no critical findings.
Key Challenges
- Modernize legacy infrastructure to support rapid scaling
- Maintain stringent financial compliance during modernization
- Replace manual deployment processes to accelerate release cadence
- Break down siloed teams and improve cross-team collaboration
- Handle seasonal transaction spikes and improve system scalability and resilience
Project Deliverables
- Hybrid cloud architecture with 80% of workloads migrated to AWS
- CI/CD automation pipelines using Jenkins and GitLab with integrated security scans and compliance checks
- Kubernetes orchestration and containerization of 50+ microservices
- Monitoring and observability via the ELK stack and Prometheus/Grafana dashboards
- Multi-region disaster recovery with automated rollback mechanisms
- Team upskilling through biweekly DevOps workshops
- A Compliance-as-Code framework embedding audit trails and encryption policies
Project Solution
OrangeMantra provided end-to-end DevOps integration, cloud strategy, and cultural transformation. They assigned 6-10 team members and executed a phased hybrid cloud migration that moved 80% of workloads to AWS while retaining critical data clusters on-premises for compliance. The team implemented infrastructure-as-code, built CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitLab with integrated security scans and compliance checks, containerized 50+ microservices and orchestrated them with Kubernetes, deployed monitoring and observability via the ELK stack and Prometheus/Grafana, and implemented multi-region disaster recovery and automated rollback mechanisms. They also ran biweekly workshops to upskill client teams and developed a Compliance-as-Code framework to embed audit trails and encryption policies into deployment workflows.
Project Outcome
- Deployment cycles shortened from 2 weeks to 2 days with zero compliance violations post-launch
- Achieved 99.99% uptime during the holiday season while handling a 3x surge in transaction volume
- Reduced incident resolution time from hours to minutes via predictive monitoring alerts
- Passed a surprise FDIC audit with no critical findings (first time in 3 years)
- Deliverables were consistently ahead of schedule, including a 2-week early completion of the Kubernetes cluster deployment
- Successful rollback of a legacy payment gateway migration in 90 minutes without impacting end-users
