About the Client

Our client—a leading maritime technology company providing cost-effective voyage monitoring solutions to over 13,000 ships globally—sought a transformative digital upgrade to consolidate and modernize its maritime applications.

Challenge

A pioneering maritime technology leader committed to innovation, the client’s digital platform is instrumental in enhancing voyage monitoring, fleet management, and operational decision-making across the world’s shipping industry. They aimed to unify operations and deliver a secure, agile platform that enhances operational efficiency and supports dynamic fleet management across global waters.

Solutions Implemented

Successive Digital initiated a structured transformation to address legacy system fragmentation and operational inefficiencies. After an extensive evaluation of existing workflows and system bottlenecks, the project team created a clear roadmap that focused on a cloud-first strategy and robust automation using a comprehensive DevOps framework.

End-to-End DevOps Automation & CI/CD Integration

A robust DevOps framework was established using GitHub Actions and ArgoCD to fully automate build, test, and deployment processes. This significantly improved deployment speed, reduced human errors, and enabled rapid rollouts across environments via a GitOps-driven model for Amazon EKS.

Scalable Container Orchestration with Amazon EKS

Initially validated through ECS (Fargate), the architecture evolved to Amazon EKS for better control, scalability, and performance. Over 100 microservices were orchestrated seamlessly, supporting complex post-merger integrations and ensuring resilience and high availability for mission-critical maritime services.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform

Terraform was used to define, provision, and manage cloud infrastructure consistently and efficiently across all environments. This approach enabled repeatable deployments, version-controlled infrastructure changes, and reduced provisioning time while supporting scalability and auditability.

Optimized Content Delivery with Amazon CloudFront

To meet the high-performance demands of a globally distributed maritime platform, Amazon CloudFront was integrated for fast, secure, and scalable content delivery. Use cases included static file delivery, software download portals, and hybrid origin architectures that balanced dynamic and static content seamlessly.

Advanced Observability & Monitoring

Real-time monitoring was achieved through Amazon CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana. This stack provided deep visibility into application and infrastructure health, allowed proactive issue resolution, and enabled detailed metrics dashboards, enhancing platform reliability and user experience.

Enterprise-Grade Security & Mobile Enablement

Security and compliance were prioritized through encryption (KMS), access control (IAM, RBAC), secure secret management, and disaster recovery with Velero. In parallel, a cross-platform mobile app—built with React Native and Vue.js—enabled real-time access to ship tracking, predictive alerts, and performance analytics, delivering critical maritime data on-the-go.
