Real-world Odoo architecture patterns
These demonstrate common infrastructure and implementation patterns we work in, described so you can recognise your own situation. They are patterns rather than customer stories, and no figures are attached to them — when we publish a customer case study it will say so and carry results that customer approved.
Six architectures, and what changes in each
Manually managed EC2 to containerised environments
An Odoo instance configured by hand over years, with no reproducible build. Rebuilt as an image plus addons from Git, with staging and release rollback added before anything else changes.
PostgreSQL migration to a managed service
Database co-located with the application server, backed up by cron. Migrated to a managed PostgreSQL service with tuned parameters, rehearsed cutover, and a tested restore path.
Automated production deployment and rollback
Releases made by editing files on the server out of hours. Replaced with a pipeline: build from a commit, test on a production clone, health-gated deploy, and application rollback to the previous known-good release. Pre-deployment database backups are retained separately, for the migrations that genuinely need database recovery.
Large Odoo performance optimisation
A database grown past the point where default configuration holds. Slow query and heavy view analysis, indexing, worker and cron tuning, and the application changes the profiling actually justified.
Controlled hosting for a compliance-sensitive programme
Odoo moved onto dedicated infrastructure in a nominated region with least-privilege administrative access, deployment approvals, retained release history, and a documented backup policy.
Manufacturing with IoT on the shop floor
Paper travellers and retyped counts replaced with scan-driven work orders, RFID moves, and station-routed label printing, piloted on one station before the plant.
What a real case study will carry
The examples above are patterns. A published case study is a different thing: a named or anonymised customer system, with measured results that customer signed off. When we have those, they will follow one structure so they stay comparable.
