OOONA is an Israel-based company that develops professional management and production tools to service the localization industry – studios, broadcasters and localization agencies. These customers trust OOONA with their most sensitive assets – unaired movies and TV episodes.

Recognizing the need to grow and serve more customers, in 2019 OOONA contacted Automat-it with the main goal of being more agile while acquiring new business. OOONA’s goal translated into introducing new functionality faster, onboarding new customers faster and creating a market differentiator to small customers and global localization service consumers. This need became more evident with the Covid-19 outburst.

Working together, OOONA and Automat-it have pinned down the actual requirements to be the introduction of more automation in SDLC, customers’ onboarding and infrastructure/configuration practices. Also, an addition of major functionality, video transcoding, was in place.

They are utilizing multiple AWS services, mainly Fargate for EKS, SNS, SQS and Lambda. Choosing to go fully serverless in this solution brings OOONA the capability to scale to whatever the customer needs without preparing in advance.
