Customer overview
The customer is a supplier of lumber, building materials, roofing supplies, and farm & ranch equipment with stores in Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.
CDW was the system integrator, GCP infra design consultant, GCP resell and support partner, and software engineer for the new mobile application.
The challenge
Being new to Google Cloud Platform and constrained on staff, the customer needed assistance in the deployment of a production infrastructure and development of a mobile application using Google native services. They also knew they were going to need on-going support but were not sure how they were going to get it.
The solution
Using Infrastructure as Code, CDW deployed our opinionated Google Cloud Foundation Template. Using GitHub Actions for CI/CD, CDW developed the application APIs using Google Cloud Run containers and a mobile application using Google Firebase. For ongoing support, the customer selected CDW's Managed and Elastic Engineering Services. 24x7 ongoing support from CDW.
The result
The customer is now running a production mobile application using Google Firebase that calls APIs written in C#/.NET running as containers in Cloud Run, and static content in Cloud Storage. The API interface is deployed behind a Global Load Balancer endpoint, using Google Content Delivery Network and integrated with Google DNS. All deployments are performed with GitHub Actions & managed by Terraform.
