Background

Streamline SaaS provides real-time financial dashboards for small businesses. Originally built as a monolithic application on a single massive EC2 instance, the platform was struggling to handle spikes in traffic during tax season. Deployment was a manual, stressful process that often resulted in downtime, and their cloud bills were skyrocketing because they were paying for maximum capacity 24/7, even when user traffic was low at night.

The challenges

The CTO needed to modernize the infrastructure to support rapid growth. The existing setup was a “single point of failure” if the main server crashed, the entire business went offline. Furthermore, developers were spending 20% of their week just fixing server issues instead of writing code. They needed a self-healing infrastructure that could scale up during the day and down at night to save money.

Our deployment process used to be a nightmare of manual scripts and crossed fingers. Now, it’s a single click. The auto-scaling alone paid for the entire project in three months.

The Solution

We executed a “Lift and Shift” strategy followed by a refactoring into microservices using Docker and Kubernetes (EKS).

Dockerized the application services to ensure consistency between development laptops and production servers.
Used Terraform to provision the entire AWS environment (VPC, EKS, RDS), eliminating manual console clicks and "configuration drift."
Built a GitHub Actions pipeline that automatically runs tests, builds Docker images, and deploys to the Kubernetes cluster whenever code is pushed.

The Result

The migration transformed the company’s operational stability and bottom line.

The system now automatically adds servers during high traffic and shuts them down at night, slashing the AWS bill by 60%.
The team can now deploy updates in the middle of the day without users noticing any interruption.
With Terraform, the entire infrastructure can be rebuilt in a new region in under 45 minutes in the event of a catastrophe.
