Background:
Muchly.ai’s team members have extensive experience delivering automation solutions for complex, high-volume file processing environments. In a recent contract engagement, a team member was tasked with creating a tool that would streamline and scale file operations across diverse platforms and cloud providers.

Challenge:
The client’s teams worked across Windows, Linux, and Mac, and their infrastructure spanned both AWS and GCP. They needed a solution that could seamlessly move files between local and cloud storage, support a variety of file operations, and integrate easily into different workflows.

Solution:
Our team developed a flexible automation tool that could be deployed as a CLI, in Docker, or within a Kubernetes cluster. The tool supported both immediate and queued operations, with queuing options including file-based runners, APIs, and k8s job queues—all managed through a user-friendly UI.

Key features included:

• Cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, Mac)
• Cloud-agnostic file transfer (AWS, GCP, local)
• Utility tools for extracting tarballs and listing cloud bucket contents
• Modular architecture for easy addition of new tasks
• Comprehensive logging for transparency and troubleshooting

The tool was praised by users as “software that just works”—reliable, efficient, and free of unnecessary complexity.

Results:
The automation enabled teams to process files more efficiently, regardless of their operating system or cloud provider. Its flexibility and ease of use made it an essential part of the workflow, and its modular design ensures it can evolve with future needs.
