Overview

What we delivered

An analytics SaaS company was dealing with a slow monolithic platform, rising infrastructure costs, and performance issues in reporting workflows. Stellar Code System modernized the product using Kubernetes microservices and an event-driven architecture, helping the business lower infrastructure spend, improve uptime, and dramatically accelerate reporting performance.

Details

Client

An analytics SaaS provider running a growing product on a legacy monolithic architecture with increasing infrastructure and performance challenges.

Problem

Challenge

The company’s monolithic architecture had become expensive to run and too slow for modern reporting expectations. Scaling costs were rising while product performance and reliability were under pressure.

  • Slow monolith affecting reporting performance

  • High infrastructure costs

  • Limited scalability under growing usage

  • Need for stronger uptime and service resilience

Approach

Solution

Stellar Code System re-architected the platform into Kubernetes-based microservices supported by event-driven workflows to improve performance, reliability, and infrastructure efficiency.

1. Microservices Modernization

  • Decomposed the monolith into Kubernetes-managed microservices

  • Improved service isolation for scale and maintainability

  • Reduced dependency bottlenecks across critical workflows

  • Created a more flexible platform for ongoing product evolution

2. Event-Driven Reporting Architecture

  • Introduced event-driven architecture for analytics workflows

  • Improved speed of data movement and reporting execution

  • Reduced delays in time-sensitive reporting pipelines

  • Built a stronger foundation for asynchronous processing at scale

3. Reliability and Infrastructure Optimization

  • Improved uptime through better service orchestration and resilience

  • Optimized infrastructure usage for lower cost efficiency

  • Reduced waste from inefficient monolithic scaling patterns

  • Created a more sustainable operating model for long-term growth
