Grupdev

Grupdev was hired by an online publishing company to assist with a large amount of DevOps work, primarily focused on migrating from bare metal to AWS. The client, a senior Java engineer, found that their existing workload would not allow for the completion of these projects. Grupdev was recommended by the client's DevOps manager and was integrated into the client's sprint process. Grupdev was responsible for leading the upgrade of the application server stack, creating multiple new environments using terraform to facilitate the migration from a Java 8 and Tomcat 7 stack to a Java 11 and Tomcat 9 stack.

In addition to the server stack upgrade, Grupdev also managed a large DNS migration for one of the client's important customers. This migration involved moving the DNS hosting provider from the client's own service to being managed within AWS. Grupdev also handled general small DevOps tasks, such as certificate updates and server restarts, which allowed the client's team to focus on larger business priorities. A team of 3-4 individuals from Grupdev worked on these tasks. The results were efficient and productive, allowing for the smooth running of the client's online publishing business.
