Background
Nitorum Capital is a New York-based investment firm that partners with middle-market companies to drive growth and long-term value. It offers capital, strategic guidance, and tailored solutions through a flexible, collaborative approach.
Rambunct helped Nitorum modernize a legacy Django application by upgrading to Python 3.11, Django 4.2.14, and MySQL 8 on AWS Graviton-powered EC2. Results included 40% cost savings, 35% performance improvement, and near-zero deployment downtime.
The Challenge
Nitorum Capital L.P., a financial services SaaS provider, faced growing operational challenges with its aging Django-based application stack. The legacy infrastructure, built on outdated components and lacking modern DevOps practices, hindered performance, scalability, and developer efficiency while exposing the platform to security and stability risks.
- Outdated Django stack and Python version leading to security and compatibility issues
- Deprecated MySQL database causing instability and performance problems
- Lack of CI/CD pipelines and standardized testing increased deployment risks
- Manual scaling and infrastructure drift added operational overhead
- Inefficient tooling and workflows reduced developer productivity
Our Solution
Rambunct proposed a comprehensive modernization effort anchored on AWS Graviton-powered EC2 instances to deliver enhanced price-performance ratios. A full-stack upgrade was carried out, including:
The Result
Rambunct architecture enabled blue-green deployments, secure secrets management, observability, and scalable, resilient infrastructure.
