Transforming a High-Growth Organization's DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure for Global Scaling

Overview

Nuno Cloud undertook a comprehensive transformation project for a high-growth, multinational client needing to rapidly scale operations and infrastructure to support new market entries. The client's existing infrastructure required an optimized, scalable solution to support increased demand, reduce deployment times, and lower operational costs without compromising quality.

Solution

T o meet the client's growth and efficiency goals, Nuno Cloud led a cloud infrastructure overhaul by integrating agile best practices and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) frameworks. The project focused on three key areas: global team enablement, infrastructure automation, and cost management.

Global Team Enablement

Nuno Cloud implemented agile methodologies across an international DevOps team spread across multiple continents. By establishing structured processes and comprehensive documentation, we empowered teams in various time zones to collaborate effectively, enabling continuous development and deployment across regions. This structure supported the client's expansion from 40 to over 150 engineers and allowed consistent standards and performance across AWS environments.

Infrastructure Automation and CI/CD Pipelines

Using tools such as Terraform, GitLab CI, and T erragrunt, we established a standardized Infrastructure as Code framework that enabled scalable, manageable deployments for development, production, and quality assurance environments. Our IaC approach made infrastructure resources accessible to developers, empowering them to submit merge requests for rapid, automated approvals, thus accelerating the workflow while maintaining quality control.

Cost Management and FinOps

Cost efficiency was a critical aspect of this project. Nuno Cloud leveraged FinOps strategies and AWS cost management tools to monitor and optimize cloud spending. We introduced automated scaling, multi-AZ configurations, and resource right-sizing that balanced the need for reliability with cost savings, significantly reducing monthly AWS expenses.

Results

Nuno Cloud's transformation strategy yielded substantial results. Infrastructure deployment times were reduced by 70%, enabling the client to enter new markets faster and with a solid infrastructure foundation. Through cost-optimization strategies, operational expenses dropped while system reliability improved, supporting the business's rapid growth without sacrificing quality or performance. The client saw streamlined workflows, enhanced resource utilization, and the agility to scale infrastructure to meet global demand effectively.
