Monolith application used meant &#8211; no microservices. Application tools were outdated too and everything was based on the old PHP version. That brought a lot of security issues. Bild Studio had to insure a balance between platform stability and building new features. At that point, Ekhart Yoga was unable to offer flawless experience to its emerging markets across the globe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/bildproduction.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EkhartYoga-Bildstudio-iphone-isometric-04-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bild-studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EkhartYoga-Bildstudio-iphone-isometric-04-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.bild-studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EkhartYoga-Bildstudio-iphone-isometric-04-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bild-studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EkhartYoga-Bildstudio-iphone-isometric-04-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bild-studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EkhartYoga-Bildstudio-iphone-isometric-04-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bild-studio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EkhartYoga-Bildstudio-iphone-isometric-04-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"text-center wp-block-heading\">Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&nbsp;set the team of 10 of our brightest and synced them with the goal of delivering contemporary, high-end, high quality, up to the standard &#8211; product. Our first aim was to keep the existing platform alive and stop it from crashing every once in a while. We started with the track record a.k.a &#8211; documenting the work which also serves as a foundation for the future steps. With it, the payment system was on the brink of collapse, too, so we had to implement a new one. By stabilizing the platform, we got to the point of making a new environment in Docker. From that point forward ideas kept coming. We made a decision to move to the cloud. Azure gave us the opportunity to have an open infrastructure. And then it was time to start polishing. Our UX team got its hands on changing the looks of homepage, on-boarding, new notifications flow, comments and FAQ redesign&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1313\" src=\"https:\/\/bildproduction.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EkhartYoga-Bildstudio-06.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2736\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"text-center wp-block-heading\">To be continued..<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though EY came to us with a handful of requests, we became a sort of business family. We consult daily. The most important decision we made together was to move forward with a complete rewrite of the platform. At the moment we have a vision divided into three objectives: new scalable and stable environment, faster and more modern website and reliable and usable data. Basically, it means we are making the whole process easier &#8211; for the user and for the stakeholders, also. Prettier, too.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1319\"
