Case study
B2B travel SaaS platform: moving from fragmented Jenkins delivery to AWS EKS and standardised releases
For a fast-growing B2B travel technology organisation, delivery was becoming harder to scale. The environment was spread across a large Jenkins estate, and the business needed a faster, safer and more standardised way to release software.
Challenge
The business faced several operational bottlenecks, including a large Jenkins estate with 40+ instances and more than 800 jobs. Releases were inconsistent, provisioning was slow and the engineering team needed a stronger platform foundation for growth.
What I delivered
I led the migration from on-premise Rancher Kubernetes clusters to AWS EKS and standardised the delivery model across the platform. The work included:
- migration of 40+ Jenkins instances and 800+ jobs
- internal CI tooling built on top of Jenkins using Python, Flask, Groovy and Bootstrap
- reusable shared libraries to standardise pipeline behaviour
- Helm-based Kubernetes deployments and production support
- greenfield campaign platform delivery for 22+ partners, including Ryanair
Business impact
The impact was immediate and measurable:
- 40% reduction in environment provisioning time
- 60% reduction in pipeline setup and configuration time
- 30% reduction in deployment errors
- 70% reduction in manual release effort
- 99.9% uptime for production Kubernetes workloads
- 30% improvement in capacity planning accuracy
- 25% reduction in performance incidents during deployment
Why this matters
This is one of the strongest proof points for modern DevOps consulting because it combines AWS migration, EKS implementation, Jenkins modernisation, deployment reliability and production support. It is highly relevant to SaaS companies, travel technology platforms and product teams looking to improve release quality without slowing delivery.
