How PTP Helped Device42 Cut Downtime by 93% with AWS Lambda Automation
Device42, a global tech company trusted in over 70 countries, faced growing inefficiencies from a manual image-building pipeline that slowed releases and risked downtime. PTP stepped in to design an automated deployment framework using AWS Lambda, Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), and CloudWatch. The result? A highly scalable, self-healing system that slashed deployment downtime by 93% and recovered 7–10 hours of engineering time monthly—empowering Device42 to scale faster and innovate with confidence.

The Challenge
Device42, a technology company trusted by organizations in over 70 countries, met a critical bottleneck in its operational efficiency. Its Image Builder pipeline relied heavily on manual processes for creating, testing, and deploying system images. This labor-intensive approach introduced multiple pain points:
- Excessive engineering time spent on repetitive manual tasks
- Increased risk of human error and inconsistent configurations
- Prolonged and unpredictable deployment cycles
- Frequent downtime during updates (30–60 minutes per deployment)
- Delayed feature releases and lack of scalability
- Hindered ability to meet growing global demand
To maintain its competitive edge and ensure seamless service, Device42 needed to transform this fragile, time-consuming workflow into a resilient, automated pipeline capable of accelerating deployments, minimizing downtime, and delivering consistent, repeatable results across hybrid cloud environments.
The Solution
PTP designed a scalable automation framework to revolutionize the Image Builder pipeline. Key elements included:
AWS Lambda functions as the core orchestration layer
- Triggered manually for scheduled releases or automatically via CloudWatch alarms during infrastructure issues
Automated pipeline that:
- Pulled the latest Amazon Machine Images (AMIs)
- Generated assets
- Deployed them across environments
Auto Scaling Groups to manage server capacity dynamically
Load Balancers to optimize traffic distribution
Eliminated downtime and manual scaling efforts
The Outcome
Through PTP’s automation expertise, Device42 now operates a fully automated, cloud-native deployment framework, delivering measurable business benefits:
- 7–10 hours saved per month in engineering effort
- ~93% reduction in deployment downtime (from 30–60 minutes down to just 2–4 minutes)
- Increased release velocity through automation
- Improved operational resilience and system reliability
- Consistent infrastructure management across hybrid environments
- Scalable DevOps foundation to support future innovation
