Situation

As telecom operators expand, handling millions of provisioning requests daily becomes mission-critical. At Tecnotree, we needed a next-generation provisioning workflow engine for clients like MTN and Zain in the Middle East. The challenge: support millions of daily multi-step orders while ensuring high throughput and minimal latency.

Task

My responsibility was to lead the team in designing and deploying a cloud-native, microservices-based provisioning system that could scale effortlessly and meet customer-specific requirements.

Action

We built the engine using Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, and Spring Boot, applying microservices patterns for scalability and modularity. To ensure flexibility, I introduced a plugin-based architecture, which allowed easy customization for each operator’s unique needs. We also integrated real-time monitoring tools (Grafana, Prometheus) to proactively resolve bottlenecks.

Result

• Delivered a scalable system capable of processing millions of provisioning orders daily.
• Achieved 99.99% uptime with fault-tolerant design.
• Reduced latency significantly, leading to faster service activation for end customers.
• Simplified onboarding of new features and integrations, improving time-to-market for operators.

This project reinforced my belief that scalability and high availability aren’t just technical goals—they directly shape customer experience and competitive advantage in the telecom industry.
