Disconnected development

A major global automotive manufacturer aimed to enhance its connected vehicle services but faced challenges in deploying these services efficiently. The existing development teams were not scalable enough to meet the growing demands, and the company needed a way to increase its development production capacity without compromising quality. This would require the ability to quickly scale resources up or down in response to business needs.

Creating the Connected Vehicle Cloud Platform on AWS

To address these challenges, the company partnered with Eviden to build a Connected Vehicle Cloud Platform (CVCP) on AWS. This platform was designed to host all of the automaker’s connected vehicle applications, providing a secure and automated infrastructure that could support a variety of services including network management, authentication and security.

Technologies and services involved in CVCP:

  • Amazon EKS
  • TeamCity
  • Terraform
  • Apache Kafka
  • Amazon MSK
  • Redis
  • MongoDB

Development of CVCP was distributed best-shore with 50% of services onshore and 50% offshore, and provided by more than 20 personnel.
