The Challenges

Overcoming Infrastructure Hurdles

Leadcenter was dealing with serious infrastructure and operational issues that were stopping their growth and exposing their systems to potential risks.

1
Painful Manual Deployments
The team was stuck doing manual deployments on their EC2 monolithic app. It was buggy, inefficient, and they had no CI/CD pipeline.
2
No CI/CD Flow
Without a CI/CD pipeline or AWS DevOps tools, every release became a nightmare that killed team collaboration and productivity.
3
Scattered AWS Resources
Their WordPress apps and RDS databases were spread across different regions, making day-to-day operations incredibly difficult to manage.
4
Outdated PHP Issues
Running old PHP versions was causing CPU spikes, leaving NGINX unsecured, and making proper monitoring and optimization nearly impossible.
5
Risky SSL Management
They were handling SSL certificates manually, constantly risking missed renewals and unexpected site outages that could easily be automated.
6
No Infrastructure Automation
Setting up environments and disaster recovery was painfully slow and inconsistent without modern AWS DevOps tools or any automation.
7
Compliance Falling Behind
Poor access controls and inconsistent infrastructure turned SOC 2 compliance and auditing into an ongoing battle they couldn't win.

The Solutions

Complex Infrastructure

We helped LeadCenter move to a more secure, scalable, and automated setup by putting the right DevOps strategy in place:

  • We set up a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions and AWS CodeDeploy, so deployments became faster, more reliable, and fully automated.
  • To simplify operations and improve performance, we moved all WordPress workloads and RDS databases to one AWS region using AWS managed services.
  • All WordPress sites and PHP runtimes were updated to the latest versions, and we fine-tuned PHP-FPM with help from AWS consulting services.
  • We tightened up NGINX configurations by applying security best practices, improving both performance and alignment with AWS DevOps tools.
  • Managing SSL certificates manually was risky, so we automated the whole process with shell scripts and Ansible to avoid renewal issues.
  • Infrastructure provisioning was standardized through scripts, making environment setups faster, more consistent, and easier to scale using AWS DevOps tools.
  • We worked closely with the client's teams to fix compliance gaps, making real progress toward SOC 2 compliance and smoother compliance auditing overall.

FAQ's

Leadcenter FAQ's

How did the CI/CD pipeline improve deployment times?

Automating the whole deployment process using GitHub Actions and AWS CodeDeploy allowed us to get rid of manual work and decrease the number of errors. This not only hastened releases, but also made them more regular, and the entire process more than 70% faster.

What role did AWS DevOps tools and managed services play?

AWS managed services such as DevOps tools were used to centralize and streamline working processes. This enhanced app performance, streamlined operations, and reduced the use of clouds by a large margin.

How was SOC 2 compliance and audit readiness achieved?

Our automation and policy enforcement allowed us to fill critical infrastructure and access control gaps, thus, simplifying the life of compliance auditors and bringing the client closer to SOC 2 certification.
