RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Rambunct delivered above and beyond what we agreed on. They gave us great updates along the way and were very reasonably priced for their excellent expertise. As a result of their work, we now have a fully working demo with our current sites fully working on it. Although we haven't implemented it yet, we expect at least a 50% decrease in costs.

How did Rambunct perform from a project management standpoint?

They delivered more work than requested and ahead of schedule. We communicated via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Overview

Migrate existing PHP web application from AWS Elastic Beanstalk to Amazon ECS for improved scalability, cost efficiency, and operational control.

Current State

PHP web application serving client websites

Hosted on AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Limited container orchestration capabilities

Proposed Solution

Core Migration Components:

Containerise PHP application using Docker

Deploy to Amazon ECS with Fargate or EC2 launch type

Implement Application Load Balancer (ALB) for traffic distribution

Build automated CI/CD pipeline for container deployment

Key Deliverables

Docker Pipeline: Create Dockerfile and build process for PHP application - Investigation work and to rebuild them in an local environment.

ECS Infrastructure: Configure ECS cluster, services, and task definitions - Build via AWS console, not through TF for now 

Load Balancing: Deploy ALB with proper health checks and routing rules - 1 ALB in this PoC, no roundrobin algorithm 

CI/CD Integration: Scarfold automated build and deployment pipeline - Simple ones with docker build + deliverables to the ECS with websites

Outcome

Scalability: Auto-scaling based on demand - based on 2 pods for this PoC

Cost Optimization: Shared Cluster + Confirmation of the saving plans. 

Flexibility: Greater control over container orchestration

Performance: Improved resource utilisation

Our point person, Neo, was highly knowledgeable about AWS. But even more important, when he didn't immediately have the answer, he would do research or speak with a colleague to help us unblock an issue.

We had an old website that was running MySQL 5.7 and needed to be upgraded to MySQL 8.0 as 5.7 was no longer being supported by AWS.  To do this we also had to upgrade our version of Django from 1.x to at least 2.x as 1.x did not support MySQL 8.0.  This is a tricky process because its a rather large upgrade that involved various breaks and dependency issues that arose from the new versions.
