MediaZilla's online media platform allows users to present to their audiences professional videos with online interactive menus created in minutes. Users of the MediaZilla platform can easily export projects to DVD, Blu-ray and USB/offline formats and serve them online, free, forever.
MediaZilla's online media platform was growing rapidly and managing the IT infrastructure was increasingly becoming a distraction for their software development team. They needed to focus on pushing out new features while at the same time giving their users the security and resilience they needed.
MediaZilla engaged Privo to build a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline which automated the entire code deployment process. At the same time, Privo upgraded their security by implementing a central authentication account, among other things. Privo also leveraged Auto Scaling and multiple Availability Zones to improve resilience.

The new CI/CD pipeline uses GitHub, CodeDeploy and CodePipeline to remove all of the friction when deploying new code. As a result, MediaZilla is now able to push small, incremental updates to their software, increasing their pace of innovation.
Developers and systems administrators now authenticate using a central "Auth" account which provides secure granular access from a single, centrally managed account, the new account uses the AssumeRole feature of identity and Access Management (IAM).
With the implementation of Auto Scaling Groups, servers automatically spawn to handle spikes in traffic and failed servers are replaced with healthy servers in the event of a problem. Furthermore, the application can gracefully handle the loss of an entire AWS data center.
“At MediaZilla, our pace of innovation is always accelerating. Privo helped us to shift into another gear by architecting a CI/CD pipeline that has eliminated friction from our code deployment process. Privo's DevOps expertise has been invaluable to us.”
