Xoltar Accelerates Development and Reduces Technical Debt with DevOps360

Company Snapshot 

• Industry: Healthtech 

• Region: Global 

• Cloud Vendor: AWS and Azure  
• Solutions Used: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terragrunt and Terraform, GitHub actions, Docker

The Challenge

Xoltar’s manual development process slowed down product releases and diverted engineers from core innovation to repetitive tasks. This inefficiency created significant technical debt and delayed go-to-market (GTM) efforts.  

What Xoltar Needed 

✔ Automation – Minimize manual workloads and increase efficiency.
✔ Reliability – Reduce human errors and improve system stability.
✔ Expert Guidance – Implement industry best practices in DevOps and automation.
✔ Technical Debt Reduction – Eliminate long-standing backlog tasks that hindered progress. 

The Solution

2bcloud collaborated with Xoltar to modernize cloud operations, optimize infrastructure, and accelerate delivery cycles. 

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Standardized Terraform and Terragrunt for automated, scalable deployments. 

• GitHub Actions: Enabled continuous integration (CI) to streamline build and deployment processes. 

• One-Click Environment Setup: Reduced environment provisioning time from two days to under one hour. 
• Faster Release Cycles: Cut product release timelines from one month to two weeks.

Technical Solution

1️⃣ Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terragrunt and Terraform

Parameterization: Enabled dynamic environment configurations.
Modularization: Created reusable Terraform modules to enhance consistency and reduce redundancy.

2️⃣ Containerization with Docker & Cloud Registry
Dockerization: Ensured uniform environments across development, testing, and production.
Cloud Registry Integration: Streamlined scalable container deployments.

3️⃣ CI/CD Pipeline Automation
Automated Build & Release: Leveraged GitHub Actions for continuous integration and deployment.
Versioning Mechanism: Implemented automated version control for seamless release management.

4️⃣ Multi-Cloud Image Management
Azure VM Automation: Standardized image creation for faster cloud provisioning.
AWS AMI Optimization: Improved scalability and deployment speed.

5️⃣ Traffic Management Optimization
Application Gateway to Load Balancer Transition: Enhanced network performance and cost efficiency.

The Results

📉 80% reduction in manual DevOps tasks – Engineering teams focused on innovation, not infrastructure.
⚡ 50% faster product releases – Reduced release cycle from one month to two weeks.
🛠 Improved system reliability – Automated deployments minimized errors and downtime.

Why It Matters

“I’ve really enjoyed working with 2bcloud DevOps. They jumped in and took a lot of the DevOps load off our full-stack dev team, automating our CI/CD processes and making our lives a bit easier. I appreciate the straightforward, no-fuss approach and the solid backup they bring.”
