Case Study: VGW achieves scalable, zero-downtime DevOps with Mechanical Rock

Immutable infrastructure, build pipelines and a move to rigorous development practices to enable speed and scale in the cloud

VGW, an innovative and profitable game design company, was experiencing rapid growth that was hindered by legacy platform issues, causing unreliable deployments and threatening scalability. They engaged Mechanical Rock to build a robust and scalable production environment on AWS, ensuring their Java-based solution could handle projected demand and free up developer resources for new product lines.

Mechanical Rock designed and deployed an automated infrastructure-as-code solution using Jenkins pipelines, New Relic monitoring, and a Behavior Driven Infrastructure approach. This resulted in seamless, zero-downtime releases and the ability to perform rollbacks within 30 minutes, enabling major upgrades across fleets of 300 EC2 servers without disruption. The solution equipped VGW with the tools, processes, and capability to support their continued business growth.
