Single Click Deployment Solution for Multi-Tier Application

Single Click Deployment Solution for Multi-Tier Application

Client Requirements: 

One of Our UAE client offers a product-based application provided as both a cloud module and an on-premises solution. Each client has distinct requirements, with some preferring cloud installation and others opting for an on-premises setup. 

Application Overview:

 The application is a multi-tier system involving the following components 

  • EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service): Deployed both on-prem and in the cloud. 
  • Docker: Used for containerizing application components. 
  • Camunda: A workflow and decision automation platform. 
  • Database: Backend storage for application data. 

Challenge: 

Setting up the application infrastructure was time-consuming, taking around 2 to 4 hours depending on internet speed and error rates. The process was similar for both cloud and on-premises installations. Our client sought a solution to reduce setup time and minimize errors. 

Proposed Solution: Single Click Deployment 

Description: 

The Single Click Deployment is a Linux shell script designed to automate the entire setup process. The script consolidates all necessary steps, including: 

  • Initial system requirements check. 
  • Package installation. 
  • Failure retries. 
  • Application startup. 
  • End-to-end setup. 
  • Execution 

When the client executes the script on a server, it automatically installs all dependencies and starts the application, reducing setup time and errors. 

Script Efficiency: 

The script reduces installation time from 2-4 hours to approximately 30-45 minutes. The automation ensures an error-free process, making it more reliable than manual setups. 

Benefits: 

  • Time Efficiency: Reduced setup time to 30-45 minutes. 
  • Error Reduction: Automated error handling and retries ensure a smoother installation process. 
  • Scalability: The solution is scalable for both cloud and on-premises deployments. 
  • User-Friendly: Clients can easily execute the script without needing in-depth technical knowledge. 

Client Feedback: 

The Single Click Deployment solution has received positive feedback from clients. The reduced setup time and error-free installation process have enhanced overall satisfaction and operational efficiency. 

Conclusion: 

Aalam’s innovative Single Click Deployment solution successfully addressed the client’s requirements by significantly reducing setup time and ensuring an error-free deployment process. This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of automation in streamlining complex IT tasks and improving client satisfaction.
