Success Story

Customizing Autodesk Shotgun on Amazon-ECS

Customizing Autodesk Shotgun on Amazon-ECS

Customer challenge

Mirriad is the leading in-content advertising solution and has a base in multiple locations across the globe. Mirriad needed to create Python scripts for Autodesk Shotgun to automate a number of repetitive processes in their production workflow and provision Shotgun script development services in Python 3.7 using the Shotgun API to be deployed on their Amazon ECS Virtual Server. They needed a highly specialised development team who could customise the Shotgun API for their specific requirement.

Project goals

These priority tasks were to be completed within 6 weeks: 1. Create Shotgun scripts in Python 3.7 using the Shotgun API. 2. Fully document the scripts in code. 3. Test the scripts using the Mirriad Python script environment. 4. Deploy the Python scripts as a Docker image to run on an Amazon (AWS) ECS virtual server. Additionally, technical support and free bug fixing was required for six weeks after deployment.

Solution

Accelty Techsolutions used development services in Python 3.7 using the Shotgun API to create automated tasks on Mirriad's AWS ECS virtual server. At each milestone, Accelty tested the scripts, took feedback from the Mirriad Team, resolved any issues, and finally successfully deployed the scripts in their production environment.

Business outcome

Accelty Techsolutions provided Mirriad with all the automation scripts and successfully deployed on their Amazon ECS Virtual server to be accessed at the same time by their multiple facilities across different regions. This helped in saving time and effort, avoided any human intervention and errors, and eventually saved cost and improved ROI.

Conclusion

"Through the Autodesk Marketplace, we contacted multiple Service Providers for our Shotgun scripting project. All suppliers provided credible proposals. We selected Accelty because they particularly impressed us with their knowledge of Shotgun, and are based in Mumbai which is where most of our Shotgun users are located. Accelty were professional and responsive throughout the engagement, and delivered high-quality scripts on-time, and worked with Mirriad to deploy in Docker containers to Mirriad's Amazon ECS environment." - Lateef Mirza, Director of Program Management and Strategic Initiatives, Mirriad
