Migrating Core Microservices
Clearing blockers and accelerating Wipro’s Cloud-RU migration for critical services
The Challenge
A global wholesale and food service distribution giant, supported by Wipro, faced one of its most technically complex migrations—moving five business-critical microservices from Google Cloud Platform to a secure Russian Cloud (Cloud-RU).
What began as a straightforward migration soon revealed layered technical and operational complexity:
A second unplanned migration of the AAA service was required due to a new cluster rollout.
Strict security and production access constraints delayed secrets, Kafka, and database provisioning.
Real-time Cassandra keyspace configuration was needed to avoid downtime.
Non-functional testing conflicts and alerting policies blocked go-live readiness.
Coordination across multiple delivery streams added friction to execution.
The Solution
Topcoder joined as a specialized engineering partner to support the Wipro team on the ground. The team executed high-impact interventions across technical and organizational bottlenecks:
Topcoder modernized and stabilized the CI/CD pipeline using waas-flow@1 and minimal-docker-flow architecture, making deployments more predictable and secure. Kafka configs were redesigned under the Cloud-RU constraints, and all secrets were migrated to HashiCorp Vault with automated injection workflows.
To unblock Wipro’s delivery team, Topcoder handled on-demand access escalations, real-time debugging of network and secret issues, and resolved problematic non-functional test cases.
Database experts from Topcoder customized Cassandra keyspaces, optimized replication, and ensured real-time data migration with no loss. A second, unplanned AAA service migration was orchestrated with learnings from the first phase, minimizing downtime and operational risk.
