CASE STUDY / 03ANONYMISED ASSIGNMENT
Digital marketing · lead generationWhite-label acquisition platform
An acquisition platform, dozens of landing pages and white-label sites that collect and then distribute qualified enquiries to partners.
DURATION8 years
ROLEIndustrialisation, infrastructure, backups
SCOPE4 servers, several applications
STATUSIn production
THE CONTEXT WE FOUNDUnderstand the system
Understand the system
before transforming it.
Deployments depended on a paid service and on undocumented procedures. One server was 96 % full, one application exposed its debugging tools in production, and the main database had no automatic backup.
WHAT WAS DONEFrom diagnosis.
From diagnosis.
To production.
The scope describes the decisions and the work actually carried out, without naming the organisation involved.
Industrialise the landing pages
Validation contract for exports, runtime frozen per page, versioned configuration and a revocable API key for each campaign.
Put the servers back in order
Disk usage brought down from 96 % to 45 %, log retention reviewed and daily purges automated.
Make backups visible
Database backed up every 30 minutes to a third-party server through a restricted SSH tunnel, and checked from the dashboard.
Normalise the enquiries
Import of remote files, field validation, then delivery to two partner platforms.

A convincing mockup, but no product behind it: the entire state lived in a JSON document and the roles were simulated in the browser. The assignment was to build the real platform.
