“How do you execute an end-to-end cloud transformation?”
Similar to other transformations, this was a multi-phase project. It wasn't just about lifting-and-shifting services; it was about building a completely new, professional operational model. Our process covered the full lifecycle, from foundational migration and automation to advanced observability and ongoing strategic support.
- Cloud Migration & Regional Consolidation. First, we executed a full cloud migration, gathering all of the services onto Google Cloud Platform (GCP). By specifically utilizing the me-central2 region in Dammam, we ensured full compliance with the KSA's local data residency regulations from day one.
 - End-to-End Infrastructure Automation. With the foundation in place, we implemented automation across the stack. The entire infrastructure was defined as code using Terragrunt for error-free, consistent deployments across Production, Staging, and Dev environments. A new CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions and Docker allowed their developers to ship features faster.
 - Advanced Observability. To ensure operational stability, we established an observability stack. GCP Cloud Monitoring and Logging provided real-time insights, with alerts routed instantly to the team via Slack and Telegram. Incidents were managed through OpsGenie and tracked in Jira, creating a streamlined and auditable response process.
 - Ongoing Strategic Partnership. Our role evolved into an ongoing partnership focused on continuous improvement. We handled the daily "Ops jobs" to support their developers and, as the client noted, often suggested a "better way" to approach technical challenges, providing a proactive consulting value that saved them time and improved the architecture.
