What Benefits Did the Team Realize?
Going through the modernization process helped the
team increase its velocity. They immediately bene-
fited from a standardized compile, build and push
pipeline, without having to maintain custom deploy-
ment scripts. bers were deploying to production every three to
four weeks. Once the application was modernized,
they are now consistently deploying every two weeks,
and getting new features into the hands of users
twice as fast.
The application startup time went from minutes to
seconds, which means changes are getting to envi-
ronments quicker. This
enables the team to
deploy more frequently
to lower environments
and reduces the amount
of time it takes to roll out
a
new
version
to
production. Moreover, now that the application is running in a
container, it is portable between on-premise and
public cloud environments.
