Challenge
Founded in 2001, Yemeksepeti is the first and biggest online food order company in Turkey. As of May 2015, Yemeksepeti was acquired by the world's biggest food ordering platform Delivery Hero. Yemeksepeti has 25.000 contracted delivery restaurants across 69 cities in Turkey and Cyprus, has more than 12 million registered users, and serves an average of 450.000 orders daily.
Yemeksepeti wanted to scale efficiently by leveraging automation. We have worked with the Yemeksepeti team for several options that will help them achieve their targets. Those included:
- Automation on Infrastructure
- Automation on CI/CD
- Making better use of Kubernetes
After several sessions and PoCs, the Yemeksepeti team chose Rancher as a Kubernetes Container Platform to modernize their infrastructure with containers and Kubernetes.
The main reasons for the Rancher decision were:
- Programmable Infrastructure with Rancher API
- Rich Terraform Capabilities
- Catalog/Application Options
- Enterprise Authentication Solutions like ActiveDirectory
- Ease of the Integration and Abstraction of VMware
Besides, Rancher was capable of native integration with Yemeksepeti’s existing enterprise applications like Pure and Datadog. Rancher Catalog helped in deploying these applications easily and efficiently.
