THE CHALLENGE

Struggling with legacy systems, GoodLife sought to transform their complex ecosystem into a scalable, cloud-native solution.

GoodLife Fitness was confronted with a fragmented and outdated IT infrastructure that hindered efficient development and scalability. Their existing setup with source code and CI/CD pipelines distributed across Bitbucket and Azure DevOps was cumbersome and slow, impeding their ability to quickly adapt to market demands and innovate within their industry.

THE TECHNICAL SOLUTION

Harnessing Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for seamless scaling, embraced microservices for agility, and fortified DevOps with advanced automation.

Architech streamlined GoodLife's development environment by centralizing their operations on GitHub, moving from a fragmented setup across Bitbucket and Azure DevOps. This migration involved consolidating 10-11 repositories, implementing GitHub's advanced security features, and setting up GitHub Actions for continuous integration and deployment directly to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). The transition, completed within three weeks, included upgrading essential libraries and creating custom scripts for the migration from an on-premises Bitbucket server.By adopting GitHub Enterprise, GoodLife centralized their source code management, CI/CD pipelines, and security measures into one platform, enhancing operational efficiency and developer productivity. This setup not only simplified their development processes but also fortified security and scalability, supporting GoodLife’s broader goals of innovation and improved service delivery.

THE BUSINESS SOLUTION

Architech's expertise enabled GoodLife to integrate cutting-edge technologies, driving a remarkable 35% increase in application development speed.

The consolidation of GoodLife’s development operations onto GitHub transformed their workflow efficiency and development speed. By centralizing their source code management, CI/CD pipelines, and security under one platform, GoodLife significantly enhanced developer productivity and operational agility by 35%. This strategic overhaul led to a faster time to market for new features and a more robust and secure application environment. With these changes GoodLife realized a 55% reduction in operational costs and laid a strong foundation for ongoing innovation.

the REsults

GoodLife's transformation was marked by a rapid 4-week architectural assessment and the seamless implementation of over 300 governance rules. The integration of GitHub Actions and transition to a unified platform accelerated deployment speeds and streamlined operations, culminating in a 55% reduction in operational costs and a 35% boost in developer productivity. The adoption of GitHub Advanced Security significantly strengthened their security posture, reducing vulnerabilities and aligning with industry standards, showcasing GoodLife’s commitment to innovation and operational excellence.
