Overview
Janes is a leading provider of trusted, open-source defence intelligence to government agencies and military manufacturers worldwide. Its intelligence supports mission-critical decisions in high-pressure environments where speed, accuracy, and scale are essential. To sustain growth and maintain market leadership, Janes needed a platform capable of processing vastly larger volumes of data without compromising performance or reliability.
D55 re-architected the platform from the ground up, replacing the monolithic design with a modern, serverless, event-driven architecture.
Key elements included:
- Massively parallel data processing using serverless compute
- Event-driven orchestration to coordinate thousands of concurrent ingestion tasks
- Removal of all single-server dependencies
- A scalable foundation designed to grow alongside data volumes and future use cases
The new architecture transformed a slow, sequential workflow into a high-performance, real-time ingestion engine.
The Outcome
The transformation delivered immediate and material impact across performance, productivity, and competitive positioning.
- Massive speed increase: Data ingestion reduced from 12 hours to under two minutes while handling 35× more data sources
- Elimination of manual effort: Analysts now focus entirely on high-value intelligence analysis instead of data aggregation
- Real-time intelligence: Event-driven logic proactively surfaces changes, shifting the platform from reactive to real-time
- Scalable foundation: The platform is now built to support future growth without architectural constraints
Together, these outcomes enabled Janes to operate faster, smarter, and at significantly greater scale.
With a modern, scalable ingestion platform in place, Janes is well positioned to continue expanding its intelligence coverage and capabilities. The new architecture provides a strong foundation for future innovation, advanced analytics, and continued growth in data volume and complexity.
