We were consolidating our platform to fewer servers.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were Isotoma responsible for?
They scoped and reviewed our platform then gave a introduction with feedback. They were looking at method accomplishment such as uprightness of the code and test scripts. They reported back and then created recommendations, an action program, and a quotation based on what they could liberate. We then agreed to second phase of work where they did the implementation. They’ve been liaising with our inner educement team throughout that order to migrate from 22 servers down to 2.
They write code and set up servers and operational infrastructure needed to do the migration.
We had a difference of code using Amazon Web Services, EC2 [ductile calculate cloud], and RDS [relational database labor], but using dedicated servers. We consolidated it down to just 2 Amazon servers. Our platform is written in Python and we use Django. The database we use is PostgreSQL.
It’s not a website, but a SaaS-based application. It’s far more confused than a website, it’s a finance method.
