Case Study: USGS achieves faster, more secure commerce at scale with Mobomo

USGS reduces deployment time by 95% with Mobomo

The USGS needed to modernize its public-facing e-commerce platform, which was built on a costly and difficult-to-scale legacy Drupal 7 environment. Their challenge was to achieve this while maintaining federal security compliance, integrating with a complex proprietary SAP backend, and supporting high-volume public traffic. Mobomo was engaged to address these constraints.

Mobomo migrated the platform to a containerized Drupal 9 architecture in AWS GovCloud using Amazon EKS. They engineered a custom REST API to integrate the SAP backend, synchronizing over 260,000 products into Elasticsearch for high-performance search. This solution reduced deployment times by 95%, cut infrastructure costs by 30%, and successfully supported national traffic surges. The modernization by Mobomo resulted in a secure, resilient, and operationally efficient commerce platform for the USGS.
