Cloud-native infrastructure modernization for a multi-carrier intercity travel platform

See how Opcito modernized a multi-carrier intercity travel platform with cloud-native infrastructure, automated CI/CD, and Graviton migration on AWS.

Engagement Details:

Opcito partnered with North America's premier private intercity bus company to modernize the infrastructure powering real-time seat availability, booking reliability, and multi-carrier operations across the continental US, Canada, and Mexico. The platform was running on bare VMs with no container orchestration, no unified monitoring, no automated deployments, and no caching layer to handle legacy carrier backend failures. Opcito delivered a full cloud-native infrastructure overhaul on AWS, covering carrier API aggregation, EKS migration, CI/CD automation, observability, IaC, and Graviton-based compute optimization.
