Qareb Cloud Migration to Google Compute Engine

iSolution assisted the process of Qareb Cloud Migration transforming their platform from their self-hosted environment to becoming a cloud native organization. We migrated the company’s infrastructure to GCP and now we are modernizing it.

The challenge

Qareb core business was the E-commerce application that was already developed using a traditional model using a full stack model where a single application is serving all the components of the platform .They faced multiple challenges such as including anticipation for the utilization and scalability of their platform, getting better cost saving and operations speed to meet the expected demand.

The solution

The first solution was to set up all VMs to run behind a load balancer and without exposure to the internet and migrate all VMs of Qareb to Google Compute Engine providing backup capabilities using GCP snapshots. The second solution is redesigning the E-commerce app and platform to become microservices and use GKE and benefit from the cloud native tools and methodologies.

The result

Qareb is now fully migrated to GCP and using both Google Compute Engine and GKE as all their legacy application platform is running behind a managed instance group with auto healing and load balancing, as well as Cloud Armor for better security. Finally the application is being slowly deployed on GKE cluster and converted to micro services which is part of the app modernization phase.
