Smart Commerce: Transforming DevOps with Automated CI/CD Practices

The Challenge

SmartCommerce, a technology platform that helps brands turn marketing touchpoints into sales opportunities, struggled with outdated development and deployment systems. Their old deployment tools and single AWS account setup created bottlenecks that slowed their development team's work across different locations. The existing development processes couldn't meet the fast-moving digital marketing and e-commerce market demands.

They chose Encora to modernize their development practices, improve security, and restructure their cloud setup for better efficiency and team independence.

How We Did It

Encora implemented a comprehensive DevOps modernization strategy designed to accelerate development cycles and enhance operational efficiency. Recognizing that speed and reliability are critical in the fast-paced digital marketing technology space, we transformed their legacy deployment systems into a modern, scalable infrastructure that enables rapid innovation and market responsiveness.

Development Process Modernization

We upgraded their development tools to modern AWS services that work together seamlessly, enabling faster and more reliable software releases while reducing manual work for the development team.

Security and Quality Improvements

We added automated code quality checks and security scanning tools, ensuring all software meets high standards before release while streamlining how different teams manage their code changes.

Infrastructure Organization and Platform Updates

We reorganized their cloud setup from a single AWS account to separate environments for development, testing, and production, while modernizing their application architecture to be more flexible and scalable.

The Result: From Legacy DevOps to Modern Development Excellence

Working with Encora, SmartCommerce transformed their development and deployment processes through comprehensive DevOps modernization, establishing a foundation for faster innovation and operational efficiency.
