Enterprise cloud migration of 50+ legacy applications to AWS with zero downtime for a leading Lebanese bank.
Project Overview
A comprehensive cloud migration project for Bank of Beirut. We migrated 50+ legacy applications from on-premise data centers to AWS, ensuring zero downtime and full regulatory compliance throughout the transition.
The Challenge
The bank aging infrastructure was limiting growth and increasing operational costs. Strict banking regulations required that all data remain encrypted and compliant during and after migration. The migration needed to happen with zero customer-facing downtime.
Our Solution
We designed a phased migration strategy using Terraform for infrastructure-as-code, Docker for containerization, and Kubernetes for orchestration. Jenkins CI/CD pipelines ensured automated, tested deployments.
Key Features
- Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform for reproducible environments
- Containerized microservices architecture using Docker and Kubernetes
- Automated CI/CD pipelines with comprehensive testing at every stage
- End-to-end encryption and compliance monitoring
- Disaster recovery with multi-region failover (99.99% uptime SLA)
- Real-time monitoring and alerting with custom dashboards
Results
- Zero downtime during entire migration process
- 40% reduction in infrastructure costs
- 99.99% uptime achieved in first year
- Application performance improved by 60% on average
