Goals & challenges
BSH had a small, skilled team but lacked the capacity to handle all data related tasks. They required a trusted partner to expand their team, deliver solutions, and guide internal teams in using the platform efficiently, by proposing new ideas and best practices in AWS while at the same time improve governance and cost savings.
Requirements
The time required to gather crucial information for central strategic decisions is significantly reduced. At the same time, a centralized view of all definitions, processes, and compliance approaches is created, enhancing transparency and efficiency.
Architecture
The architecture is built on AWS technologies such as Compute Optimizer, MSK, EMR, Timestream, Redshift, Glue, Athena, ECS, API Gateway, Airflow, Lambda, Grafana, EC2, and S3. This setup is complemented by the Atlassian stack and Infrastructure-as-Code approaches using Terraform and OpenTofu.
Generated benefits
By providing a unified platform, BSH has simplified data access and cross-team collaboration and fostered a culture of data sharing and innovation. The platform's scalability and the improvement of cost efficiency ensure that the data infrastructure can be seamlessly expanded as the organisation grows, supporting new use cases and business initiatives without compromising performance or security.
Services accomplished by synvert
synvert actively encouraged collaboration with other teams by providing support and technical guidance. Through thorough architecture reviews, ETL pipelines were optimised, especially in the areas of IoT, integration of external systems and migration of services that were better suited for specific tasks. In addition, synvert automated CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure management, which significantly increased efficiency. The company also implemented best practices for cost management, security and performance. To facilitate the work of the data scientists, synvert developed deployment templates and extended the available services so that they could develop and deploy their applications more efficiently.
