The company aims to provide the best\u00a0consumer experience, from discovery to checkout, delivery and after-sales support,\u00a0helping more than 8 million users make their purchases every month.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Focus On Reliability, Innovation, and Collaboration<\/h2>\n\n<p>Skroutz\u00a0drives to improve its business by focusing on several key factors. Firstly, they aim to\u00a0ensure that their systems and processes are reliable, secure, and scalable to provide their\u00a0customers with the best possible experience. Secondly,\u00a0Skroutz\u00a0is determined to maintain a\u00a0competitive edge by experimenting with innovative technologies to enhance its platform. As\u00a0pioneers in the Greek e-commerce market, they are always eager to push the boundaries of\u00a0what is possible. Thirdly,\u00a0Skroutz\u00a0places a strong emphasis on collaboration between teams to\u00a0enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their decision-making and implementation\u00a0processes.\u200b<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Obstacles in Cloud Migration\u200b<\/h2>\n\n<p>To successfully migrate to the cloud,\u00a0Skroutz\u00a0needed to overcome some challenges, such as:\u200b<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Developing a clear and efficient migration strategy and roadmap to avoid potential pitfalls\u00a0and risks.\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensuring minimal disruption to operations and customer experience during the transition\u00a0to the cloud.\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Embracing cloud technology and adapting to new possibilities while maintaining\u00a0momentum and enthusiasm among their internal teams.\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Understanding the benefits of the cloud,\u00a0modernising\u00a0their environment according to best\u00a0practices.\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aligning their business model to cloud advantages, leveraging the economical nature of\u00a0the cloud.\u200b<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skroutz\u00a0Trusts\u00a0Blazeclan&#8217;s\u00a0Delivery Framework for its Cloud\u00a0Migration Success\u200b<\/h2>\n\n<p>Blazeclan\u00a0assisted\u00a0Skroutz\u00a0in fulfilling its innovation vision by providing them with an agile\u00a0and efficient migration framework, on-time deliveries, and reduced costs using various AWS\u00a0services. <\/p>\n\n<p>The first step included the Assess phase of the AWS Migration Acceleration Program\u00a0(MAP) framework. It involved a Migration Readiness Assessment (MRA) and a rapid discovery\u00a0process to understand\u00a0Skroutz&#8217;s\u00a0current state, pros &amp; cons, and gaps with a cloud-ready\u00a0enterprise.\u00a0Blazeclan\u00a0also implemented AWS Landing Zone to accelerate the setup of a secure\u00a0and scalable multi-account\u00a0AWS environment with a strong baseline foundation, including services like\u00a0AWS KMS, AWS WAF, and Amazon Route53.\u200b<\/p>\n\n<p>Steps were taken to set up and demonstrate Terraform templates, enabling hands-on\u00a0experience and turning participants into solution architects. The migration&#8217;s Mobilize and\u00a0Modernize phases proceeded smoothly thanks to\u00a0Blazeclan&#8217;s\u00a0migration framework, which\u00a0allowed teams to work effectively and leverage AWS ECS to\u00a0containerise\u00a0their applications.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>Blazeclan\u00a0also helped\u00a0Skroutz\u00a0utilise\u00a0Amazon\u00a0ElastiCache\u00a0for faster data access, Amazon SQS\u00a0for scalable and reliable applications, and Amazon Aurora for high availability and fault\u00a0tolerance. AWS ALB was used to distribute traffic across Amazon EC2 instances hosting\u00a0migrated applications. AWS S3 provided efficient storage and Amazon SES facilitated email\u00a0communication.\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Economical, Secure, and Always Available: The Advantages of\u00a0Cloud\u00a0\u200b<\/h2>\n\n<p>Blazeclan&#8217;s\u00a0expert guidance, combined with\u00a0Skroutz&#8217;s\u00a0mature and adaptive approach, led to a\u00a0successful cloud migration with the following outcomes:\u200b<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Skroutz\u00a0was able to leverage cloud services and deliver new products earlier than\u00a0expected.\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skroutz\u00a0attained a 60% reduction in cloud costs through AWS&#8217;s MAP\u00a0program.\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The migration process was faster than the initial\u00a0Skroutz\u2019s\u00a0plan\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhanced security and compliance were achieved while still giving\u00a0Skroutz\u00a0control over its\u00a0cloud\u00a0environment.\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High availability and fault tolerance were achieved, resulting in a seamless customer\u00a0experience.\u200b<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"value-box-wrap\"><div class=\"value-box-list\"><ul class=\"row\"><li class=\"col-lg-4 col-sm-6\"><div class=\"value-box\"><div class=\"value-icon\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blazeclan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/60-of-the-cost.svg\"><\/div><p>Skroutz saved nearly 60% of costs due to the adoption of AWS MAP.\u200b<\/p><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tech Stack<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Amazon EC2\u200b<\/td><td>Amazon Aurora\u200b<\/td><td>Amazon ECS\u200b<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Amazon\u00a0ElastiCache\u200b<\/td><td>Amazon SQS\u200b<\/td><td>Amazon SES\u200b<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>AWS ALB\u200b<\/td><td>Amazon ECR\u200b<\/td><td>AWS WAF\u200b<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Amazon S3\u200b<\/td><td>AWS Landing Zone\u200b<\/td><td>AWS KMS\u200b<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Amazon Route 53\u200b<\/td><td>AWS SSO\u200b<\/td><td>AWS Organizations\u200b<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>AWS Transit Gateway\u200b<\/td><td>AWS Site-to-Site VPN\u200b<\/td><td>\u200b<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<p>\u200b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About\u00a0Skroutz Skroutz\u00a0operates Greece&#8217;s largest marketplace, with millions of products from thousands\u00a0of online stores across various categories.
