Case Study: a large blue-chip resources service provider achieves cloud scalability and faster deployments with Mechanical Rock

Large Blue-Chip Resources Service Provider - Customer Case Study

A large blue-chip resources service provider faced significant challenges scaling its on-premise process management solution across multiple mine sites. The application had performance and reliability issues and a technical design that prevented a cloud migration, so they engaged Mechanical Rock to evaluate a rearchitecture to a modern, cloud-based platform for improved scalability.

Mechanical Rock migrated the application to a modernized AWS architecture by containerizing it with Docker and hosting it on ECS with Fargate. This solution, which included infrastructure-as-code and comprehensive monitoring, delivered improved security, scalability, and reliability. Mechanical Rock also transformed the client's DevOps processes, reducing their deployment cycle from three months to three days and lowering operational costs by an order of magnitude.
