Customer overview

The customer is an American company that provides residential, small and large business electronic security, fire protection, and other related alarm monitoring services throughout the United States.

CDW lead a refactoring effort for the customer's SaaS application and the migration from AWS to GCP. They designed and deployed a microservice-focused architecture and Infrastructure as Code deployment methodology for the SaaS application.

 

The challenge

The customer and Google entered a strategic partnership focused on integration points between Google's Nest product line and the company's consumer SaaS application. The SaaS application was a distributed monolith residing on AWS which required faster feature deployment, simplified management, and troubleshooting through unit and integration testing.

 

The solution

CDW partnered closely with Google to rearchitect and modernize the underlying infrastructure that supports the SaaS application. Together, they designed and deployed a microservice-focused architecture and Infrastructure as Code deployment methodology for the SaaS application which was aligned to the customer's DevSecOps guidelines and leveraged their existing deployment pipelines.

 

The result

The customer's cloud application is now hosted on the GCP platform, bringing the consumer application onto the same network backbone as the Google Nest Pub/Sub traffic. The monolith-to-microservice architecture allows the development team to roll out new features and address bugs in a more agile manner. The customer's consumption of GCP services has dramatically increased, replacing previous AWS services.

This win represents the DNA of CDW's largest Google Cloud Platform win(s) year to date bringing together the software engineering team and cloud presales organization to execute Application Modernization projects that ultimately land on GCP.
