Built for convenience, mobility, and reliability, the company's products reflect a commitment to making everyday technology simpler, smarter, and more useful for people on the move.

Flintu required a self-managed Odoo Enterprise infrastructure that would provide complete control over deployment, version management, and production operations. The company wanted to separate development and production environments, implement a structured Git-based workflow for customizations, migrate to a fresh Odoo instance without legacy data, and gain sufficient technical knowledge to independently manage their production environment while still having access to expert development support when required.

Designed and deployed a self-hosted Odoo Enterprise architecture on AWS with separate development and production environments. The solution included AWS EC2 instances, AWS RDS PostgreSQL, GitHub repositories for Community, Enterprise, and custom modules, and a deployment workflow that enabled controlled development, testing, validation, and production releases. Comprehensive documentation and knowledge transfer were also provided to support independent infrastructure management.
