The Challenge

TEG, a SaaS vendor providing digital solutions for the road freight industry, sought to enhance its AWS platform, which had grown organically over five years. To quickly enter new markets and expand their enterprise service, they needed to speed up their delivery processes while keeping everything secure and compliant.

TEG needed a new way to scale up the delivery processes in the Cloud that would enable faster development, creation of environments, cloud resources all whilst being compliant.

With time and resource constraints, the DevOps team needed an immediate solution that didn’t have a high platform build time or total cost of ownership and that enabled the team to streamline their cloud operations quickly and enable developer productivity gains for the business.

Everything delivered, needed to meet networking and security requirements and had to adhere to a level of compliance that met the business data and integration sensitivity of the applications.

How Appvia Helped

Appvia provided a three-step solution:

1

An AWS landing zone implementation

Providing the framework for central security policies, audit, cloud account isolation and cost management

2

A developer platform (Wayfinder)

Integrated into the landing zone architecture, providing their existing engineering and DevOps teams with platform capabilities that reduce cloud operations and streamline development

3

On-going support and maintenance

For both the developer platform and the landing zone implementation

We delivered an AWS Landing Zone with infrastructure-as-code foundations, compliance, and security policies in the first phase.

Then we implemented Wayfinder to give developers a self-service experience - they could deploy applications across environments and manage cloud dependencies without needing infrastructure expertise or central team support.

This abstraction meant developers could focus on modernising applications within the tight 5-week timeline, whilst the DevOps team handled platform capabilities behind the scenes. We provided hands-on training throughout, leaving the team equipped to operate independently.

Service

This engagement was time-sensitive and provided a well-architected developer platform within a 5-week period with a focus on upskilling existing teams on platform engineering and landing zone architecture.

To facilitate a smooth transition, Appvia provided hands-on training by pairing with TEG’s team during the delivery phase, ensuring they were comfortable with the new platform. Appvia’s platform engineering experts were readily available to assist with complex issues and provide ongoing guidance, empowering TEG to manage their platform effectively and confidently.

Support

Appvia provided robust support throughout the project, ensuring seamless platform adoption and operation for TEG. Third-line support was put in place to address any critical issues promptly and maintain a high-quality, reliable and secure platform. This support included continuous monitoring, troubleshooting, and updates to the platform, ensuring it remained compliant with industry standards.

The Outcome

Appvia enabled TEG's Platform team to provide standardised cloud infrastructure across the organisation.

The AWS Landing Zone, combined with Wayfinder's automation, eliminated custom deployment scripts and gave developers a simple, consistent experience across environments.

Developers can now provision infrastructure themselves without waiting on the central team. This standardisation scaled the Platform team's capabilities, giving TEG a cloud-native foundation for future development and modernisation.
