How Solv Reduced Quality Engineering Setup Time to One Day for 150 Microservices Using BuildPiper

Solv is a leading Indian B2B marketplace designed to support small and medium businesses (SMBs). The platform offers a one-stop solution for SMBs to access competitive pricing, streamline orders, and access financing options within a user-friendly environment.

Problem Statement

Solv’s growing ecosystem of over 200 microservices led to operational inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities, and inconsistent environments. Manual processes for configuration management, access controls, deployments, and monitoring hindered scalability, highlighting the need for an automated, scalable solution to standardize operations, improve security, and streamline the development pipeline.

Standardization via BuildPiper

Standardized configuration management and various operational practices across multiple environments ensuring secure, consistent, and reliable deployments.

Env. Setup for 150+ Microservices

Leveraging BuildPiper's CLI tool, bpctl, Solv reduced their Quality Engineering environment setup time to just one day for more than 150 microservices, achieving a drastic improvement in efficiency.

DevSecOps Implementation

BuildPiper automated processes like security checks, image validation, and credential scanning. It also integrated Selenium pipelines for test automation, sharing auto-generated reports with users, and enhancing deployment security.

Challenges

  • Managing 200+ microservices with unique configurations across environments created deployment complexities and errors. 
  • Manual access provisioning to servers introduced delays and security risks. 
  • Lack of real-time monitoring and dashboards slowed issue resolution, hindering progress and productivity.
  • Absence of ingress version control caused configuration inconsistencies and downtime risks. 

Solutions

  • Automated Deployments: BuildPiper automated the deployment of over 200 microservices, drastically reducing manual efforts and improving release speed. CI/CD pipelines were optimized for error-free, efficient builds.

  • Self-Service Access Portal: A Jira-integrated portal automated access provisioning to Bastion hosts and databases, streamlining approval processes and removing bottlenecks. Custom Jira fields and webhooks triggered BuildPiper jobs, simplifying access management.

  • Configuration and Ingress Management: ConfigMaps and ingress settings were version-controlled in Bitbucket, ensuring consistent environments. Changes were deployed through approval-based pull requests, enabling authorized updates and easy rollbacks to reduce configuration drift.

  • Centralized Dashboards: Real-time monitoring and reporting dashboards provided visibility into environment health, application performance, and deployment status, empowering proactive issue management.

Empowering Data Engineering Teams with Serverless Architecture

Serverless architecture is becoming increasingly popular in data  engineering due to its scalability, cost efficiency, and ease of maintenance.   Here's an overview of how data engineering teams can effectively leverage   serverless architecture: Serverless computing relieves you of the burden of operating servers so that you can concentrate on what matters—getting value from data. Building Scalable Data Workflows: How Going Serverless Complements Data Engineering With serverless architecture, resource allocation is dynamically managed by the cloud provider , which automatically scales up or down in response to demand. In essence, serverless architecture frees your data engineering team from managing servers so they can concentrate entirely on collecting data from insights. The following are some advantages of using a serverless architecture for intricate data analysis: Scalability: The inherent scalability of serverless architecture is one of its most important benefits...
