Digistore24 Transitions To Google Cloud Platform Through Root Level Technology

HOUSTON, Jan. 31, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Root Level Technology, a cloud strategy partner specialized in programming and development, has helped a major client enhance its cloud application deployment.

An automation and conversion optimization specialist, Digistore24's core offering is a reseller platform which helps automate the online sales process for tens of thousands of clients. The organization initially approached Root Level Technology because they were unhappy with their current Amazon Web Services installation, deployed through a competitor. Situated in a non-local region, their architecture at the time provided neither the reliability nor the level of performance the company required for its clients.

"Digistore24 wanted to move from an overseas to a domestic deployment and realized they and their clients needed a more reliable network backbone to work off," explains Eric Fouarge, Root Level Technology's Chief Technology Officer. "However, they also wanted to adopt a more progressive, iterative architecture which would allow their team to rapidly develop and release software at-will. Since agile, flexible cloud development is one of our core specialties, they approached us for help."

Working with Digistore24, Root Level Technology planned out a full everything-as-code strategy, eventually establishing the client on the Google Cloud Platform. As part of this transition, the client adopted several open-source and cloud-based development tools, including Kubernetes and Istio. This was, notes Fouarge, driven by the client's unique project requirements.

"An important part of the project for us was accounting for the limited size of the client's team," says Fouarge. "The environment couldn't be so complex that it required an entire army of DevOps engineers to maintain the solution. Digistore24 needed full development environments which could be used to validate work quickly, securely, and easily - implementing a full CI/CD with these requirements upfront was a significant driver in the direction of the project and in our selection of technologies such as the Google Kubernetes Engine."

With the deployment complete, Root Level Technology will continue working with Digistore24 to ensure all development decisions continue to move in the right direction.

Root Level Technology is a cloud strategy and DevOps Solutions provider that delivers enterprise-level infrastructure with the kind of care that you'd expect from a small, family business.
