Our Process

1
Investigate and Analyze

We start by thoroughly understanding your stack from top to bottom.

2
Develop and Deliver

Then, we focus on creating a solution that solves your problem elegantly, without more tech debt.

3
Dissemination and Validation

Finally, we help your team adopt the solution, while fine-tuning it to ensure full adoption and success.

The Challanges

  1. Upskilling in Modern Cloud Practices: Developing internal expertise in critical cloud-native technologies like containerization, Kubernetes orchestration, and resilient CI/CD practices.
  2. Building Scalable and Efficient Applications: Enabling the team to build robust, scalable applications that could meet the demands of T-Mobile’s growing custom\r base and operational requirements.
  3. Aligning Teams with Real-World Project Pressures: Ensuring that the team was capable of working within real-world time constraints and could adopt agile, responsive approaches to application development.

Impact

  • Enhanced Technical Proficiency: T-Mobile’s engineering team emerged with a robust understanding of containerization, Kubernetes, and CI/CD principles, laying the groundwork for more scalable, efficient development practices.
  • Culture of Continuous Learning and Innovation: The workshops fostered a mindset of ongoing development and experimentation within the team, a cultural shift that will continue to support T-Mobile’s technological evolution.
  • Increased Readiness for Future Cloud Projects: With improved technical skills and hands-on experience, T-Mobile’s team is well-equipped to tackle complex cloud development projects, positioning the company as a forward-looking leader in telecommunications technology

Our Solution

Epsilon designed a comprehensive educational program tailored to meet T-Mobile’s unique needs and operational goals:

27 Week-Long Workshops on Core Cloud Technologies

  • Containerization with Docker: The workshops began with an in-depth focus on Docker, teaching T-Mobile engineers the fundamentals of containerization, the advantages it offers, and how to implement it effectively in production environments.
  • Kubernetes Orchestration and Helm Chart Deployment: Epsilon covered the intricacies of Kubernetes for orchestrating complex containerized applications and taught Helm for efficient management and scaling of these deployments. This hands-on training emphasized real-world scenarios, helping the team navigate challenges typical of live production environments.
  • CI/CD Pipelines with GitHub Workflows and GitLab CI: Epsilon introduced the latest best practices in CI/CD automation, guiding the team through the design and implementation of reliable, automated pipelines that could streamline code deployment and foster more agile development cycles.

Hands-On Full-Stack Development Projects

  • Simulated Real-World Development: Participants were tasked with building full-stack applications from the ground up under tight deadlines, mirroring real client expectations and pressures. These exercises required T-Mobile’s engineers to apply their knowledge in containerization, Kubernetes, and CI/CD, solidifying their skills through real-world applications.
  • Collaborative Team Exercises: By working together on these projects, team members honed not only their technical skills but also collaborative problem-solving and project management capabilities, which are critical for operational success.
