The Challenge

What the Client Was Facing

A global logistics company's tracking platform was a tightly coupled .NET monolith that processed tracking events synchronously. As parcel volumes grew, tracking updates were delayed by 4 hours during peak periods β€” causing thousands of daily customer service contacts.

Our Role

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 β€” delivering measurable outcomes within a fixed engagement timeline. Our team worked embedded with the client's engineers throughout the entire project.

The Solution

How We Solved It

ZippyOPS redesigned the tracking event pipeline using event-driven architecture. Debezium captured database change events from the legacy system, Kafka became the event bus and new event processors were deployed as independent microservices on Kubernetes. Dual-write during migration ensured no events were lost.

Technologies Used
