02 case studies

CS_01 DreamPay — zero to 4,000 TPS, PCI-DSS ready

problem
Greenfield payments platform. Required PCI-DSS readiness and high-throughput scale from day one. No prior infra, no team, no patterns.
approach
Architected complete AWS infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows from the ground up. Single point of ownership for every infra decision.
stack
AWSEKSTerraformArgoCDPackerDatadogPCI-DSS
outcome
→ 4,000+ TPS sustained · PCI-DSS readiness achieved · production-stable since launch

CS_02 Dream11 — resiliency as a product

problem
Inconsistent SLAs across services on a 2,000+ instance fleet serving millions of concurrent users at sporting peaks. Drift between environments.
approach
Standardized immutable infrastructure with Packer + Terraform. Built full observability stack. Deployed platform apps (monitoring, ingress, cert-manager) on EKS via GitOps. CI/CD for 20–30 microservices.
stack
AWSEKSPackerTerraformArgoCDPrometheusGrafanaDatadogELKGitHub Actions
outcome
→ significant SLA improvements across all production services · drift eliminated

CS_03 Kotak Neo — zero to trading-platform DevOps

problem
No DevOps practice. Manual deployments. On-prem infrastructure. Team had to launch a next-gen retail trading platform under SEBI/NSE compliance.
approach
Built the practice from zero. Designed Azure DevOps CI/CD across all internal projects. Led on-prem→AWS migration. Internal IaaS via Terraform. Ansible config across dev/staging/prod.
stack
Azure DevOpsAWSTerraformAnsibleSEBI/NSE
outcome
→ provisioning days → minutes · full CI/CD adoption · regulator-ready

CS_04 Upstox — scaling to 5M+ users

problem
Live retail trading platform scaling from early stage to 5M+ users. Needed cloud migration and zero-downtime deployments during market hours.
approach
Led on-prem→AWS migration of all critical trading systems. Migrated 50+ services to Kubernetes. Auto-scaling for market open/close spikes. Jenkins + GitLab CI for live deploys.
stack

outcome
→ zero-downtime live trading deploys · 5M+ users served · cost cut via right-sizing/RIs
