Paz Oil Company Ltd. is the largest Israeli fuel company and operates a network of gas stations, convenience stores, supermarkets, and car services across the country.
Paz Oil is committed to providing high-quality products and services to its customers while maintaining environmental and social responsibility.

Paz Oil wanted to modernize its application and migrate it to the cloud, in order to improve its agility, scalability, security, and customer experience.

The goal was set to adopt a microservices architecture, which would allow it to break down its monolithic application into smaller, independent and loosely coupled services that could be developed, deployed, and updated independently. As a means of safeguarding option for further modernization. 

Paz Oil also wanted to use containers as the deployment unit for its microservices, as containers provide a consistent and portable way to package and run applications across different environments. 

Paz Oil partnered with CloudBuzz, to migrate its monolithic application to AWS cloud and containers while cooperating with the development team, they designed and implemented a migration strategy that involved the following steps: 

Assess: The team analyzed Paz Oil’s existing application and broke it down into independent services, the dependencies, data sources, and other interfaces between other systems, security requirements, and performance metrics of each component. 

Plan: The team created a migration plan that prioritized the components based on their business value and complexity. They also defined the migration tools, processes, and best practices that would be used for each component. 

Migrate: The teams executed the migration plan using an iterative approach that involved testing, validating, and optimizing each component before moving to the next one. 

This phase also includes a CD process that supports the new architecture of containers and AWS cloud resources.

Optimize: CloudBuzz optimized the migrated components for performance, scalability, security, and cost efficiency using various AWS services and features,

With the new architecture that leverages the AWS cloud capabilities, most of the application backend services have migrated to AWS and become more agile and reliable. Any new services that are developed also follow the new architectural approach.
