Project objective

The aim of the project in CREDITAS DIFA was to build a modern platform for providing interfaces and communication between internal and external systems of the CREDITAS Group on the Azure platform.

Implementation

The project involved selecting key components to ensure the platform met the customer's standards. WSO2 API Management and RabbitMQ messaging technologies were chosen during PoC based on both experience and specific requirements.

Integration Platform:

• designed to operate on the AKS platform (Azure technology),
• installed and configured using a GitOps approach, including integration with Azure KeyVault,
• includes RabbitMQ,
• implements authentication and authorization via Azure AD and OAuth2,
• for CI/CD, Azure DevOps technology was utilized,

Operationally, application logs are directed to a central log management system. The collection of operational metrics and potential alerts is then implemented using the Prometheus operator.

Part of the project

The project also included:

• selecting technology for composite services,
• study on differences among Identity Providers and adjusting certain functionalities during implementation,
• creating a design for API Management.

Result

The platform was implemented within the specified timeframe. Throughout the implementation process, including the integration of initial backends, assistance was provided to individual application providers, explaining various security mechanisms.

Performance verification of the platform was also conducted, including stress tests, failover test, and DR tests.

The platform is designed as a PaaS service from the outset - new instances can be rapidly created, and for security needs (such as banking standards or external API Management), separate instances can be automatically created and installed..

What does the customer say about our services?

"Building a reliable integration platform to suit our needs and within the timeframe was essential for us. Wesecon guided us through the concept, designed the appropriate technology components and implemented the solution. The result is a modern integration platform on Azure for the entire CREDITAS Group. I would like to acknowledge not only their expertise, but also their professional approach and communication throughout the project."
