Adapture optimizes Cloudflare environment for global clothing retailer
Business Challenges
The global retailer had Cloudflare in place but knew that elements were not configured according to best practices. Cloudflare straddles different areas of IT, including digital, DevOps, infrastructure, and cybersecurity. Cloudflare’s expansive reach can make maintaining clear communication a challenge for organizations that are used to operating in silos and having one organizational stakeholder per platform. There was no documentation in place to indicate its configuration. The retailer also did not have a testing environment or redundancies in place, making implementation difficult.
Solution Requirements
The client needed someone to evaluate its existing Cloudflare environment before moving onto its overall architecture. It needed an expert to go through the environment and point out misconfigurations or potential areas of optimization so it could run efficiently and not worry about operational pitfalls. Automation and documentation needed to be put into place to make the environment more manageable for its internal team. Terraforming was necessary to enable automation of a test environment and provide a backup of the Cloudflare environment.
