Micro-transformation
summary
Company replatforms from Windows 2003 datacenter to AWS, deploys everything as microservices with 100 services and shuts the legacy datacenter down. CI/CD builds a Docker image at the start, runs tests in it, pushes via Jenkins and Ansible, and promotes with blue‑green deployments so rollbacks are trivial. Tech stack centers on node and Drupal, uses CloudFormation, RabbitMQ for decoupling, GitHub/ZenHub for open processes, and feature toggles over long branches. A lesson-sharing app still gets a million downloads a day, and the approach evidently works.
