Fintech Transforms CI/CD with 10x Faster Releases
The Challenge
The company, a digital lending platform, was losing ground to faster-moving competitors. Their release process required 2 days of manual testing, deployment coordination, and nervous monitoring. Releases happened monthly at best.
The 25% rollback rate meant every release was stressful. Engineers dreaded deployment days. Product features sat completed but undeployed for weeks.
Regulatory requirements added complexity-every change needed audit trails, security scanning, and compliance verification. The team assumed these requirements made automation impossible.
