What the Client Was Facing
A large e-commerce company ran 150 services as a distributed monolith — deployed together, sharing databases with complex synchronous dependencies. Any deployment required coordinating 15+ teams. One service failure cascaded across the entire platform.
What ZippyOPS Was Engaged To Do
ZippyOPS was brought in to design and implement a solution addressing the root causes of the client's challenges — delivering measurable outcomes within a fixed engagement timeline. Our team worked embedded with the client's engineers throughout the entire project.
How We Solved It
ZippyOPS led a domain-driven decomposition workshop to re-draw service boundaries, then executed a phased migration to independently deployable services on EKS. Istio service mesh was deployed for mTLS and traffic management. Each service got an independent GitOps pipeline via ArgoCD with canary deployment capability.
Technologies Used
Measurable Outcomes Delivered
150 services independently deployable — no cross-team coordination required
Service cascade failures eliminated through circuit breakers and timeout policies
Deployment frequency per service increased from monthly to 5× per week
mTLS enforced across all service-to-service communication — zero unencrypted internal traffic
