SoftPoint — Improving Infrastructure & Deployment
How Grow2FIT helped SoftPoint optimise its Kubernetes and PostgreSQL infrastructure, automate deployments with GitLab CI, and cut cloud costs — setting the stage for scalable, efficient growth.
Overview
SoftPoint sought assistance with system infrastructure, monitoring, integration, and deployment processes. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of key areas to effectively address their needs.
Analysis Areas
- Infrastructure — reviewed and optimised Kubernetes, virtual machines, and PostgreSQL setups.
- Monitoring — developed dashboards to identify performance bottlenecks.
- Resource limitation — implemented tenant-based resource limits.
- Auto-deployment and GitLab CI — streamlined deployment processes.
- Cost analysis — identified opportunities for cost savings.
- Auto-scaling pods — planned for future scalability.
Implementation
We integrated auto-deployment scripts with GitLab CI, addressed pipeline issues, and enhanced deployment processes. The infrastructure was upgraded, including Kubernetes and PostgreSQL tweaks, and new instance pools were configured for cost efficiency.
Infrastructure Changes
- Upgraded Kubernetes and optimised worker configurations.
- Implemented cost-saving measures, reducing expenses by hundreds of EUR per month.
Additional Improvements
- Enabled security features like WAF and session stickiness.
- Optimised PostgreSQL settings and addressed memory management issues.
Outcome
The collaboration resulted in streamlined automated deployment, improved operational efficiency, scalability, and cost savings. Our partnership with SoftPoint led to infrastructure and process improvements, setting the stage for future growth and scalability.
Faster, automated releases and a leaner cloud bill — a more efficient, scalable platform ready for SoftPoint's next stage of growth.
