The Challenge
Northwind's 9-year-old Rails monolith couldn't support enterprise SSO, regional isolation, or sub-second dashboards. Deploys took 40 minutes and a single rollback often paged the entire team.

// the challenge
Northwind's 9-year-old Rails monolith couldn't support enterprise SSO, regional isolation, or sub-second dashboards. Deploys took 40 minutes and a single rollback often paged the entire team.
// the solution
We extracted the platform into edge-deployed services, rebuilt the dashboard in React + TanStack with streaming server functions, and introduced a GitOps Kubernetes pipeline with progressive delivery. SOC 2-ready audit logging shipped in the same release.
// the results
Deploys now complete in 90 seconds with automatic canary rollback. Average dashboard load time fell from 4.1s to 380ms, and Northwind closed three Fortune 500 contracts that required regional data residency.
