Taking Flight with AWS Cloud

The Challenge: Taking Off Without Delays

Seeking a Cloud Solution with Faster Processing Speed

Our customer operates 4,500 flights per day—keeping passengers connected to their baggage while simultaneously delivering a pleasant passenger experience is a big undertaking. They needed an agile, scalable cloud solution to handle large amounts of complex heterogeneous data supported by an on-demand platform.

They wanted to scale with minimal downtime and avoid impact on their bottom line due to misrouted bags or dissatisfied passengers. They looked for a partner who could nail the landing. Enter TEKsystems.

Our Solution: More Legroom for Data

Integrating AWS Cloud and Microservices for Faster Data

As an AWS Partner, TEKsystems brought the experience and expertise to guide our customer to their destination. Leveraging our application modernization capabilities, we applied a cloud-native approach, featuring microservice architecture and modern technology stack. This approach led us to develop multiple microservices to run at scale and in parallel, processing tens of thousands of events per second.

We advanced their cloud-based architecture by refactoring, rewriting and integrating various baggage operation systems and establishing an automated CI/CD pipeline design that enabled faster time to market.

We used our AMPGS^TM Microservices Accelerator Framework that provided a microservices factory model to accelerate development. This framework decreased the development time from months to weeks. Together, we established an approach to release applications with built-in security, quality and agility. We created a roadmap by identifying ways to make the platform more resilient. The results? Lower costs and defects for our customer. Reliable baggage claim for passengers.

Powerful Partnership: A Runway to Modernization

Delivering Data Agility in Baggage Claim

As a global airline, our customer invests in regularly optimizing their approach and rewiring their applications with new strategies and technologies. Their passenger-centric mindset and desire to modernize their enterprise IT makes them stand out from the rest. That desire fueled our collaboration to create a platform that could deliver better, faster results.

Focused on the horizon, we continued to work with them to streamline and automate through best practices and tooling. Incrementally, we took what we learned and applied the feedback we received along the way to consistently improve delivery and help mature the global airline’s processes. An itinerary of efficiency, scalability and long-term growth.
