The challenge

A Series A fintech startup was running a monolithic application on bare-metal servers with manual deployments, leading to high infrastructure costs, week-long release cycles, and frequent downtime that was eroding customer trust.

Our solution

We decomposed the monolith into microservices, containerized them with Docker, orchestrated with Kubernetes on AWS EKS, and built fully automated CI/CD pipelines with GitOps-based deployment workflows using Terraform and ArgoCD. The migration was executed with zero downtime using a strangler fig pattern.
