Consolidating Complex Systems Into a Unified Platform
Handled during a 3 month platform footprint reduction effort
Problem
The multi-tenant cloud agnostic platform supported stateless nano-service architecture; a service handling a specific operation in a workflow.
While functional, the growing number of services increased hosting costs, operational overhead, made failures almost untraceable, and the dependency graph grew exponentially.
Approach
Existing platform architecture was analysed to identify opportunities for consolidation while preserving the operational requirements and scalability.
Focus areas included service scope redesign, event backbone and inter-service communications, platform data models and existing platform functionality.
Solution
A microservice architecture that consolidated services into a more manageable platform model, each service handling a full platform vertical, rather than a service for each step.
This reduced operational costs, simplified deployments, and improved overall system efficiency and observability.
Outcome
The platform became easier to operate, more cost-effective to host and develop, and better positioned to support future growth without increasing architectural complexity.
