How a product engineering company standardized 100+ microservices deployments with GitOps automation

The company is a specialized product engineering firm building high-scale digital platforms for enterprise customers across South Africa and India, with solutions spanning telecommunications, financial reconciliation, and rewards management. As its application portfolio and microservices ecosystem expanded, manual infrastructure management and deployment processes began creating delivery bottlenecks and availability risks. Flentas modernized the company's platform operations, standardizing Kubernetes environments and automating software delivery through GitOps and Infrastructure-as-Code.

The Challenge

Manual processes couldn't keep pace with a growing microservices footprint

As applications, environments, and microservices multiplied, the company's existing infrastructure processes began affecting delivery speed, reliability, and scalability.

Inconsistent infrastructure

Kubernetes environments were provisioned and managed manually, creating configuration drift across development, QA, and production.

Manual, risky deployments

Production releases across 100+ microservices required significant manual effort, extending deployment windows and increasing the risk of human error.

Container management constraints

Deployments relied on external container image repositories, creating delays and dependencies in the release process.

Secrets management risk

The secrets management platform operated as a single-node deployment, creating a potential single point of failure for critical applications.

The Approach

A standardized platform built on GitOps and Infrastructure-as-Code

Flentas implemented a comprehensive DevOps and platform modernization strategy spanning infrastructure provisioning, software delivery, container management, and platform resilience.
