Introduction
FoodOSTech is a food technology company focused on transforming how restaurants and food businesses manage digital orders, customer experiences, and operations. With rapid growth in users and demand for seamless digital experiences, FoodOSTech needed a modern, scalable infrastructure to support innovation and reliability.
The Challenge
Before partnering with CloudHero, FoodOSTech faced key operational and technical hurdles:
- Legacy Infrastructure: Their applications were hosted on traditional environments with limited elasticity and automation.
- Scalability Limits: Demand spikes during meal times caused performance bottlenecks.
- Developer Inefficiency: Teams spent significant time maintaining infrastructure instead of innovating.
- Security & Compliance: Handling sensitive data required a more secure and auditable infrastructure.
FoodOSTech wanted to innovate rapidly, but needed a modern foundation first.
The Solution
CloudHero applied its Lift and Shift to EKS methodology :
Initial Migration
Containerized FoodOSTech’s applications with minimal changes to the codebase.
Migrated workloads onto Amazon EKS, enabling a managed Kubernetes environment that provided consistency, scalability, and resilience.
Infrastructure as Code & Automation
Entire infrastructure deployed via IaC for repeatability, auditability, and security.
Introduced CI/CD pipelines, ensuring safe and fast deployments.
Modernization Enablement
Enabled FoodOSTech to run both legacy and modernized workloads on EKS, reducing system sprawl and complexity.
Provided observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stack for monitoring and logging.
Strengthened security posture through least-privilege IAM policies and automated configuration validation.
Ongoing Support
CloudHero’s 24/7 support ensured the smooth operation of EKS clusters, databases, and supporting services.
The Results
The migration gave FoodOSTech the modern platform it needed to innovate quickly:
- Fast Access to Modern Infrastructure By running on EKS, FoodOSTech gained immediate access to cloud-native capabilities, without the burden of rewriting applications upfront.
- Accelerated Innovation Developers now deploy new features autonomously and faster, unlocking shorter release cycles and continuous experimentation.
- Improved Scalability & Reliability Kubernetes on AWS standardized infrastructure across environments and eliminated production bottlenecks, ensuring seamless scalability during peak traffic.
- Enhanced Security & Compliance Automated policies, IaC, and observability strengthened compliance and minimized operational risk.
- Customer Experience Boost Faster, more reliable applications improved user satisfaction and positioned FoodOSTech to expand its product offering.
Impact in Numbers
- 60% reduction in time-to-market for new features
- 60% speed improvement in RCA during incidents
- 48% cloud cost optimization within the first month
- 83% reduction in downtime incidents in the first week
