Societe Generale is a French bank, the largest in Europe, established worldwide. Member of the GTS Alerting team for their private cloud platform. Here are my major contributions to the project: + Re-engineer the Java-based microservice at the core of monitoring, based on Apache Flink with the goal of not repeating logic across the code base + Fix various bugs from v1 logic that caused more than 30 crashes per day in production environments + Design abstractions for Apache Flink data sources, for consistency and reuse across the service + Collect custom metrics sent to Influx DB and build live monitoring graphs with Grafana + Advocate for GitOps-based CI/CD and implement it using on-premise Jenkins, and some Python scripting, across environments & the multi-region cloud + Secured our pipelines & clusters by migrating secrets from Jenkins and Kubernetes secrets to Vault + Developed a Python-based microservice that integrates with the in-house ticketing system, to serve users preferring ticketing for resources monitoring alerts. I used Flask, Open API, OAuth, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL and SQL Alchemy + Provisioning of “static” resources (PostgreSQL database, InfluxDB, AWS S3 buckets) using Terraform and Ansible As a result, we ingested 14.5 billion metric events daily, crossed with 11.3k monitoring rules (default and user-defined), produced ~26k violations (ACTIVE/INACTIVE) per day and, thanks to anti-flood, ~3k alerts daily. The Grafana boards & Apache Druid aggregated metrics provided insights to fine-tune performance further for Apache Flink within our clusters. Terraform and GitOps CI/CD made deployments a breeze.
