The challenge
Manage a complex application portfolio, accelerating software releases without sacrificing security and performance.
SCENARIO
An evolving application ecosystem
With a constantly growing portfolio of applications and an increasingly complex technological ecosystem, a leading company in the energy infrastructure sector was faced with a challenge: to improve efficiency, speed and security in the release of software.
This renewal was essential to support the wide range of applications, ranging from apps for end customers, used to monitor and manage gas supply, through platforms dedicated to suppliers, to internal tools for business management. The growing complexity required a paradigm shift: the current infrastructure was no longer sufficient to support the needs of a company looking to the future. Support was therefore necessary for an infrastructure renewal that would involve the adoption of the cloud in multi/hybrid mode, maintaining control over an increasingly diversified application ecosystem.
THE SOLUTION
A tailored DevOps solution for managing hybrid cloud applications
To transform the application management process, the company has chosen to adopt an advanced DevOps platform, designed by Liquid Reply to meet the needs of speed, security, and flexibility. The core of the solution is based on the adoption of cloud-native tools and the definition of a surrounding process, which has enabled the automation and optimization of the application release cycle.
A key element was the integration of Quality Gates, which introduce modular and mandatory controls to ensure safety, performance and compatibility at every stage of the development cycle. Thanks to a scalable and adaptable approach, the new platform has been designed to support different technologies and reduce operating costs, accelerating release times and improving overall application management.
HOW DID WE DO IT
Strategic steps to transform the development cycle
Liquid Reply has adopted a targeted approach to implementing the new DevOps platform, following a series of strategic steps.
Reduced release
times
Thanks to pipeline automation and optimized resource management, the company has accelerated the release time of its applications.
Reduced consumption of infrastructure resources
The new platform has reduced the use of infrastructure resources, improving efficiency and reducing the consumption of processes attributable to the DevOps solution.
Faster rollback
times
Thanks to the adoption of the GitOps paradigm, the new solution has allowed faster rollbacks in the event of a failed release.
Optimized application
artifact times
thanks to the cloud native nature of the tool, the performance of the processes of generating application artifacts and container images has improved.
