Industry Vertical – Hospitality
The Client
Jamsan Management is New England based hotel & asset management company, which is recognized by its investors, franchisers and clients as quality intensive. Jamsan owns & manages a wide variety of properties in the North East United States. They work with all the leading national brands such as Hilton, Marriott International, Choice Hotels, Best Western International and Intercontinental Hotel Group to provide a unique lodging solution for the greater New England region.
The Challenge
Jamsan, a digital solutions provider for retail analytics and forecasting, faced increasing operational complexity in provisioning and maintaining consistent infrastructure across its development and production environments. They needed a fully automated solution to support rapid feature releases and consistent compliance, while also managing traditional compute workloads and integrating serverless architectures.
The Solution
Jamsan adopted AWS CloudFormation and AWS CodePipeline to implement Continuous Delivery across all infrastructure layers. Templates were modularized using nested stacks and stored in Git, with pull requests, peer reviews, and automated validation integrated into their CI/CD workflows. They avoided custom naming and managed secrets securely through AWS Secrets Manager.
Key elements of their architecture included:
- Modularized nested stacks for decoupled components (VPC, EC2, RDS, Lambda).
- Serverless architecture using AWS SAM for Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB.
- Outputs configured to surface critical information like ALB DNS and database endpoints.
- Parameter groups with validation and secure injection of credentials.
- StackSets used for test/prod environment replication.
Outcome & Benefits
- Deployment velocity improved 10x using CI/CD pipelines.
- Near-zero downtime releases with blue-green and rolling deployments.
- Infrastructure consistency across environments.
- Audit-ready infrastructure through Git-based version control and linting tools.
