Success Story
Kubernetes assessment and proof of concept on AWS for MailAmericas
MailAmericas is a postal and e-commerce logistics company. Craftech supported it on a project funded through AWS Partner Funding, reviewing its platform and building a proof of concept for a Kubernetes deployment on AWS, with team enablement.
Challenge
MailAmericas needed to evaluate modernizing its platform toward a container architecture on AWS: review its current infrastructure, validate a Kubernetes deployment with demand-based autoscaling, and train its team, before committing to a full implementation.
Solution
Craftech reviewed networking, monitoring, services, database, persistent data, CI/CD, costs, security, and team, and built a proof of concept on Amazon EKS: application deployment with Helm, a PostgreSQL database, Valkey caching, S3 storage, certificates with ACM, and event-driven autoscaling with KEDA. The work closed with enablement sessions for the client's team and a closeout document.
Results
MailAmericas obtained a working proof of concept of its platform on Kubernetes in AWS — with event-driven autoscaling and managed database, cache, and storage — and a diagnosis of its infrastructure, plus training to operate the new stack. The scope was assessment and POC, leaving full production implementation ready to be tackled as the next phase on an already validated foundation.
