DevSecOps Design and Implementation
Global Digital Security and Identification LeaderCase Study – Global Digital Security and Identification Leader
Background:
Our clients application landscape relies heavily on a lot of legacy code that has been around for almost 30 years. The main crown jewel application is built with a legacy assembly language, and it is in the form of a thick client which is built and managed by developers at their local workstations. To build and package the artifacts developers need to run lot of manual steps in various environments. Moreover, version control is also not enforced, allowing developers to commit code at their own discretion, this will result in potential new problems and flaws not being found before to significant production releases. When an organisation ends up supporting numerous version control systems, this problem is frequently made worse. The delivery pipeline is slow-moving as it was established during the waterfall days but now it has become outdated for agile ways of working. Our client has started a transformation journey that leverage more efficient practices and automation to speed up the software delivery lifecycle and ship the releases more frequently to their clients.
Challenges:
Lack of Effective Version Control management: Application code is managed at developer’s local workstation without any proper version control and branching.
Missing DevOps and CI/CD Practices: The manual delivery process contained many steps, introducing opportunities for human error, ultimately leading to non-repeatable and inconsistent releases.
Cumbersome Artifact Versioning: No defined versioning in place. Artifacts/build packages are versioned base on the file managed by the developer at local workstation and shared between the teams/customers manually.
Outdated Environment: Build process involves many outdated dependencies which makes the application at risk with high technical debt
