PC CADDIE: modernising without a platform team
The market leader for golf club management software in the DACH region is modernising its online applications step by step towards cloud native – on kloudease and STACKIT.
- golf clubs work with PC CADDIE
- 750+
- platform operations and monitoring by AOE – no platform team of its own
- 24/7
- of previous hosting costs expected (forecast)
- ≈ 50%
Starting point
Modernise without building a platform first
An established application
PHP and MariaDB at a traditional hosting provider – stable, but hard to evolve.
Knowledge silo in operations
The previous data centre operation depended on very few people.
A clear target picture
Kubernetes as the target architecture, STACKIT as European infrastructure.
No platform team of its own
Developers should work on the application, not on running clusters.
What kloudease takes over
AOE provides the platform and runs it around the clock – on the Starter tier, expandable at any time.
- Dedicated Kubernetes cluster on STACKIT
- Observability with Grafana, Prometheus and Loki
- Single sign-on via Microsoft Entra ID
- Integration with the existing GitLab container registry
- GitOps with Flux including secrets, plus DNS configuration
Outcome
More time for the application
Platform provided including SSO and connectivity – without a platform team of its own
The team focuses on the application, and a second initiative could start in parallel
Hosting expected at about half of the previous costs
Started on the Starter tier, growth without rebuilding
