Converted the application to conform to SOA architecture and, then, designed the next generation Micro services that will build future version of Cloudforge. Used Docker, Kubernetes and Mesos for working with Micro services.
• Designed Chatbots and interfaced them with Slack channels for task auto-remediation. Designed threshold based monitoring through Logstash. Used Logstash API’s to program ServiceNow.
• Programmed RabbitMQ to integrate Clarive and Chef with Cloudforge. Developed codes in Java/Python/MySql to make an intuitive dashboard so that Clarive and Chef can send messages to Cloudforge. Worked on writing Chef recipes. Ruby/JSON/YAML were used as a part of writing those recipes. Worked with CloudBees plugins for Jenkins to design fault tolerant build solutions. Accomplished robust master-slave architecture. Improved long build plug-in.
• Worked with AWS to design load balancing, auto scaling and high availability during peak application demand.
• Used Cloudformation to design application stacks. Used Cloudfront as the content delivery tool. Used distributed Amazon RDS. Used PostgreSQL and Apache Cassandra. Worked with Amazon Redis Cache for in memory database execution and Liquibase to consistently update complex database schema changes.

Integrated Atlassian Jira into Cloudforge. Used Ngnix/Tomcat/Jboss instances. Utilized StackStorm orchestrations to design cloud applications workflow.
• Integrated ScrumworksPro with Cloudforge so that Work Items can be associated with Git commits. Designed Blue/Green and Canary Deployment model for Cloudforge. Used Spark/Kafka platform to work with streaming data.
• Worked on Software Defined approach to integrate our old On-Premise, VMWare virtualized instances and AWS cloud compute units. Used Elastic BeanStalk for platform as a service. Used Amazon Route 53 aliases, persistence network aliases and persistence storage provisions to solve problems where consistency was required to solve many application anomalies.
