Modernizing WikiWorks' Operations
Manual GCP deployments created costly operational overhead, so we automated with CI/CD pipelines and containerization.

The Challenges
Manual Infrastructure Operations
Wikiworks was doing everything manually - deployments were slow, error-prone, and caused frequent downtime, with poor security and no performance optimizations.
The Solutions
Manual Infrastructure
To tackle these pain points, we built a robust, secure, and budget-friendly DevOps solution using Google Cloud Platform:
- We built a GitLab CI/CD pipeline that finally stopped those scary manual deployments and made releases actually enjoyable.
- Moved their backend to GCP Managed Instance Groups with PM2 so their Node.js app never crashes during traffic spikes.
- Made their React app blazing fast using NGINX with Cloud CDN and added Google Cloud Armor to block attacks.
- Created Terraform modules so they could spin up identical environments in minutes instead of spending days configuring servers.
- Cut their cloud bills by 25-30% through smart cloud cost optimization and rightsizing their oversized virtual machines.
- Added SonarQube scanning to catch security bugs before they reach production, keeping their code clean and secure.
- Implemented cloud performance monitoring with centralized logging so they can spot problems before customers start complaining about slowness.

The Results
Business Impact
- Their GitLab CI/CD pipeline cut deployment headaches in half and stopped those 2am emergency fixes that used to ruin weekends.
- Users finally stopped complaining about slow loading times thanks to auto-scaling backend and CDN-powered frontend that handles traffic spikes like a champ.
- Infrastructure as code with Terraform turned the nightmare of setting up new environments into a simple one-click process.
- Cloud cost optimization saved them up to 30% monthly, which meant more budget for actual features instead of wasted server bills.
- Security became bulletproof with SonarQube catching bugs early and Google Cloud Armor keeping the bad guys out automatically.
- Cloud performance monitoring gave them eyes on everything, so they now fix problems before angry customer emails start flooding in.
- Our DevOps managed services completely transformed how they work, proving that DevOps as a service actually delivers real business value.

FAQ's
Penomo FAQ's
How long does it typically take to implement a complete DevOps transformation like this?
Most clients see their GitLab CI/CD pipeline up and running within 2-3 weeks, but the full transformation with Infrastructure as Code, cloud cost optimization, and Google Cloud Armor usually takes 6-8 weeks. We work in phases so you start seeing benefits immediately rather than waiting months for everything to be perfect.
Will our team need extensive training to manage these new DevOps managed services?
Not at all! That's the beauty of DevOps as a service - we handle the complex stuff behind the scenes. Your developers just need to learn a few simple commands for deployments, and we provide hands-on training sessions. Most teams are comfortable with the new workflow within a week.
How much can we realistically save with cloud cost optimization?
While results vary by usage patterns, most of our clients see 20-35% reduction in their monthly cloud bills. The savings come from right-sizing oversized instances, implementing smart auto-scaling, and eliminating waste. Plus, cloud performance monitoring helps prevent costly over-provisioning in the future.
