Case Study: a UK-based smart-building technology provider achieves stable AWS EKS hybrid workloads with Ficode

UK-based Smart-building Technology Provider stabilises 33 services and cuts deployment exceptions by 50% with Ficode

Ficode was engaged by a UK-based smart-building technology provider to stabilize its AWS-hosted platform following a cloud migration. The customer faced significant challenges with its complex 33-service architecture running on Amazon EKS, including Kubernetes scheduling failures, CI/CD pipeline issues, and deployment problems with its Windows container workload, all of which impacted the reliability of its building automation services.

Ficode resolved these issues by optimising Kubernetes workload scheduling to ensure correct placement for both Linux and Windows services, fixing the automated build pipeline for Windows containers, and enhancing application startup resilience. As a result, the platform achieved 100% correct workload placement, a 50% reduction in deployment exception handling, and established a stable foundation for future scaling. Ficode's solution provided the smart-building provider with a reliable and scalable cloud-native operational base.
