The Challenge
Fruition’s managed hosting operation was drowning in infrastructure tickets. The team handled thousands of tickets monthly — WordPress and Drupal updates, security patches, SSL renewals, performance issues, and client requests. The manual process was:
- Slow — average ticket resolution time exceeded 4 hours for routine issues
- Expensive — skilled engineers spent 60%+ of their time on repetitive, low-complexity tasks
- Inconsistent — resolution quality varied based on which engineer picked up the ticket
- Unscalable — as the client portfolio grew, the ticket backlog grew faster than hiring could keep up
Our Solution
We built the Fruition Control Plane (FCP), an AI-powered infrastructure automation platform that intelligently triages, routes, and resolves operational tickets through a 6-step automated workflow.
Intelligent Ticket Processing
- Ticket Detection — monitors Jira for new tickets in real-time
- AI Analysis — Claude 3 SDK analyzes ticket content, classifies type and urgency
- Context Gathering — pulls relevant site data, recent changes, and historical patterns
- Action Planning — generates a resolution plan with specific steps
- Automated Execution — executes WordPress/Drupal updates, security patches, configuration changes via GitHub
- Verification & Reporting — validates changes, runs health checks, and updates the ticket
Core Components
- AI-Powered Analysis Engine — uses Claude 3 to understand ticket context, classify urgency, and plan resolutions
- Memory Bank System — maintains persistent context about each site’s configuration, history, and quirks
- WordPress/Drupal Automation — automated updates, security patches, plugin management, and configuration changes
- GitHub Integration — all changes committed through proper Git workflows with pull requests and code review
- Self-Healing Infrastructure — monitors health metrics and automatically responds to common failure patterns
Technical Architecture
- Frontend: Next.js 15 + React 19 + TypeScript dashboard
- Backend: Node.js + Express + WebSocket for real-time updates
- AI: Claude 3 SDK for intelligent analysis and planning
- Cache: Redis for session state and real-time data
- Infrastructure: Kubernetes kubectl integration for deployment operations
- Version Control: GitHub API for automated PR creation and merging
