| At first, a challenged was proposed by Be Energy Part S.L. (SotySolar): they are one of the greatest companies regarding solar panels instalations and other energetic sources. | ||
| They have their software deployed in cloud, but wanted to improve their software lifecycle as it was unefficient their previous way to deploy new software. |

I would rewrite this entire part, something more like:
"We partnered with Be Energy Part S.L (also known as Sotysolar), a big player in the solar panel instalation industry in Spain and Portugal, with more than 12000 panels installed. They reached us to help them optimize their software lifecycle to adopt a more efficient approach to deploying their software into the cloud."

I'm thinking about this:
"We partnered with Be Energy Part S.L. (operating under the brand Sotysolar), a leading force in the solar panel installation sector across Spain and Portugal. With over 12,000 panels installed and a growing presence in the renewable energy market, Sotysolar continues to push the boundaries of sustainable innovation.
Our collaboration began when Sotysolar approached us to streamline and modernize their software development lifecycle. Their goal was to adopt a more agile and efficient approach to cloud-based software deployment, enabling them to scale faster, reduce downtime, and improve delivery speed."
Any thoughts?

| And so, it was clear what we wanted to archieve: we were to build a new Internal Development Platform (IDP) which make us leaders of the field for solutions that enhance business' efficiency. |

Here you should talk about what it will mean for Sotysolar to adopt this solution, not "future clients"

I think you are right. I'll change it right away!

As for now, this is what I've changed:
Our objective was to build a new Internal Development Platform which would allow to adopt leading practices to enhance business efficiency.
This product would offer SotySolar a better software development experience and allow to scale their services effortlessly while reducing their cloud-associated costs and decreasing the CO2 footprint and energy usage.
Wanted to keep it short but maybe it would be nice to dig into some more detailing about it.

| To achieve this, infrastructure environments are standardized with Amazon EKS, as it provides automatic horizontal scaling. This helps to lower expenses and CO2 consumption by provisioning only the necessary resources at each moment. |

"The solution uses Amazon EKS for seamless autoscaling, to help reduce expenses...."
| ### Cloud Provider Migration: From DigitalOcean to Amazon Web Services (AWS) | ||
| As AWS partners, we chose to migrate the current infrastructure from DigitalOcean to AWS due to better pricing and AWS's strong commitment to sustainability. | ||
| Since 2023, AWS has matched its energy usage with renewable sources and is actively pursuing greener solutions, aiming for net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 and to become water-positive by 2030. | ||

Add something like: "We think that this objectives aligns with Sotysolar's goals as a renewable energy company"
| ### Custom image for their web application | ||
| The client's application is developed in PHP, so a custom Helm chart was created to automate deployments using ArgoCD. | ||
| Later, the operating system image was optimized by creating a custom image that already included all the necessary pre-downloaded packages for the application to run. | ||
| This reduced the image build time from 8 minutes down to just 2. |

You can write "experienced a 50% increase in build speed" if u feel fancy
| All of these resources were migrated to the new environments: | ||
| #### MongoDB | ||
| The database is deployed in the cluster using Helm with a 3-replica architecture to ensure high availability. | ||
