Engineering & DevOps for a Legacy Media & Publishing Platform — case study

A confidential B2B engagement — 1K+ hours of engineering and DevOps on a live, multi-channel media & publishing platform. We ended frequent platform-wide outages (now 100% uptime) by stabilising the application code and optimising MySQL queries, and finally fixed critical legacy bugs (Drupal & Zend) the client had been stuck on for two years. Delivered Dec 2025 – Mar 2026.

The challenge & how we solved it
01
The challenge

What they needed

  • Frequent platform-wide outages hitting paying subscribers
  • Critical bugs the client couldn't fix for two years
  • A brittle 12-year-old codebase — legacy Drupal & Zend (PHP)
  • Unoptimised MySQL queries straining the live platform
  • Compatibility issues blocked every fix attempt
  • Needed reliable uptime & deployments — without a rewrite
02
Our approach

How we solved it

  • Ended frequent outages — stabilised app code & optimised MySQL queries (100% uptime)

  • Finally fixed the two-year-old blocker bugs
  • Took over maintenance & support of the live platform
  • Applied fixes to the client's AWS infra & deployments as needed
  • Shipped releases via Git CI/CD; added monitoring & observability
