This means that its developers can wrap up a configuration and deploy the required resources within minutes, without worrying about code updates, as the process is fully automated. Funky Pigeon also applied the infrastructure as code approach to its in-house photo printing mobile app, Photo Prints, which enables customers to create photo books, and now uses automated builds and config management, as well as DevOps tooling including Terraform, Puppet, and Packer.
By deploying the Photo Prints app as infrastructure as code, Funky Pigeon simplified the release process for code changes and automated its environment. Not only does this allow Funky Pigeon to offer a better user experience, it has significantly freed up human resourcing to focus on innovation and business development.
Once the optimisation process was complete, web-tier sizing was reduced by approximately 50 per cent and as a result, roughly 35 per cent of cost savings can now be made during peak traffic times. Customer servicing levels have also improved significantly, with an average drop of 50 per cent in transaction times and per cent availability.
Self-service reports are now ready in days rather than weeks which has reclaimed time for innovation. Claranet also helped Funky Pigeon right-size and eliminate redundancies, leading to significant cost savings, and helped the company reduce its expenses 40 per cent during the first year, and an additional 25 per cent the next.
The company has also reduced its running costs by 20 per cent per month and the savings have allowed the organisation to reinvest and grow the business to impressive heights.
