Cloud Migration & Managed Services
Customer success story
AllSaints stabilized operations through cloud modernization
Cloud migration yielded immediate infrastructure savings for the global fashion brand.
Pythian re-architected AllSaints onto a single cloud platform to eliminate idle infrastructure and maximize margin efficiency with zero customer-facing downtime.
AllSaints was hitting a financial wall because keeping their site up during high-traffic retail rushes meant paying for over 60 physical and virtual servers that mostly sat empty and idle during normal shopping days. They brought in Pythian to completely tear down that clunky hybrid setup and move everything over to a slick, automated Google Cloud setup—rebuilding 100 messy services into clean microservices so their internal engineers could finally stop playing mechanic to old hardware and start shipping features that buyers actually care about.
This was the biggest infrastructure change in the history of the company, and we wanted to do it in such a way that our customers wouldn't notice the change. Pythian gave us the advice and support we needed to make that goal a reality.”

Increase in conversions
Fast-track your Google Cloud evolution toward total operational freedom.
AllSaints navigated high-volume seasonal traffic swings where rapid storefront responsiveness dictates checkout conversions.
Pythian replaces fixed infrastructure with elastic infrastructure on Google Cloud.
Idle servers drained vital operational budgets
Maintaining a fixed footprint of over 60 virtual and physical servers to protect peak uptime resulted in massive over-provisioning and wasted capital throughout normal sales cycles.
Monolithic architecture limited engineering agility
Consolidating operations onto a unified platform required rewriting and decoupling 100 distinct legacy dependencies into an independent, distributed microservices cloud model.
Global traffic required continuous uptime
The cross-region storefront platform could not tolerate speed degradation or deployment freezes because modern online consumers quickly abandon slow checkout processes.
High-stakes architectural overhaul demanded proven cloud expertise
The immense scale and technical risk associated with a total infrastructure transformation required immediate access to certified cloud engineers to ensure a secure cutover.
Pythian built an elastic Google Kubernetes Engine architecture to enable true autoscaling.
Pythian deployed Google Compute Engine and Google Kubernetes Engine to dynamically align system resources with real-time web traffic fluctuations. This automation eliminated the financial burden of maintaining over-provisioned, idle hardware during non-peak shopping periods.
Integrated CI/CD automation slashed service deployment cycles from twenty minutes to under five.
By implementing a modern continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline using Jenkins and HashiCorp Terraform, Pythian accelerated engineering velocities. AllSaints' internal developers can now build and release customer-facing applications rapidly and securely.
Unified cluster monitoring delivered shared, real-time diagnostic alerts for continuous system visibility.
Pythian deployed Percona Monitoring and Management alongside Google Stackdriver to supply comprehensive, unified observability into database and application performance layers. The shared configuration outputs continuous diagnostic metrics simultaneously to both internal IT and Pythian teams.
Enterprise data warehouse integrations unlocked deeper operational insight from vast e-commerce datastores.
The technical teams embedded Google BigQuery into the new cloud blueprint to aggregate and process multi-region e-commerce transactions. Integrating this analytical layer empowered business intelligence teams to convert raw consumer behavioral datasets into clear operational strategies.
Accelerate your cloud migration and unlock true operational agility.
