The journey started with an in-depth examination of the legacy app’s design, and a walk through of its intricacies that revealed potential stumbling blocks. We methodically designed a thorough migration plan using the data gathered. Recognizing the importance of minimizing downtime, we established techniques to ensure a smooth transition.

In our pursuit of infrastructure resilience, we embraced the precision and efficiency of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) as a fundamental mechanism. This methodical approach was meticulously executed across the Azure development (dev and test) and production environments, employing declarative configurations to define and orchestrate infrastructure components.

Developed an MVP mobile app utilizing Bluetooth for geo-locking and community rentals. Transformed preliminary designs into a functional application with account creation and aligned front-end development. Finalized design, conducted user acceptability testing, and delivered the app to iOS and Android platforms. Maintained quality through continuous feature testing throughout the project lifecycle.

Our database migration showcased technical prowess, characterized by meticulous execution. We systematically orchestrated the data export from the legacy Rackspace environment to the new Azure DB utilizing Terraform. This methodical approach ensured a seamless transition, substantiating our proficiency in managing intricate transitions.

To replicate data between Rackspace and Azure production databases, we established secure VPN tunnels. This intricate data movement underscored our unwavering commitment to data integrity and system continuity, affirming our technical diligence.

We systematically recorded a comprehensive repository of information encapsulating every detail of the environment, intricacies involved in deployment processes, nuances characterizing the observability setup, and the orchestration intricacies of tooling within Azure environments. By distilling the complexities into a coherent documentation system, we aimed to facilitate enhanced operational insight and proficiency in managing Azure environments seamlessly.

The deployment of containerized applications evolved into a highly technical process with the meticulous crafting of Kubernetes manifests. Our deployment strategy transcended routine practices, representing a systematic optimization endeavor. Rigorous testing protocols were employed across each environment, serving as a prerequisite for progression. This methodical approach ensured the synchronization of functionality and availability, validating the robustness of our containerized applications within the Kubernetes framework.
