Case Study: Introduction of GitLab CI/CD in the Banking Sector
- Client: Company in the Banking Sector
- Industry: Banking/Financial Services
- Service: DevOps Consulting, System Design, CI/CD Implementation (GitLab)
- Migration of existing components to GitLab
- Establishment of a standardised workflow with Git, JIRA and CI/CD
- Automation of deployment through GitLab pipelines
- Adherence to compliance requirements (e.g. dual control principle, traceability)
- Integration of testing and code analysis to improve code quality
- Empowerment of internal teams through targeted training
The Solution
The architecture was developed and implemented as part of the project. Highlights of the implementation include:
Results
The project led to the complete replacement of the previous manual processes. All migrated components now have standardised pipelines with defined quality and approval steps. Deployment by only one person or without the defined JIRA workflow is technically impossible – which fully meets security requirements and the dual control principle.
Significantly greater transparency in the development process
Fewer manual sources of error
Faster and traceable deployments
More trust and control throughout the entire software lifecycle
Through training and accompanying documentation, internal teams were permanently empowered to use the new processes effectively and develop them further independently.
The successful introduction of GitLab CI/CD has not only modernised the technical foundation, but also permanently changed the way of work and team culture. The project is a prime example of how complex legacy environments can be made fit for the future with the right advice – without losing sight of practical considerations and the people involved in the process.
“Working with BrewCode GmbH to implement our CI/CD pipelines in GitLab was a thoroughly positive experience. The support was extremely competent and guided us quickly through the entire process. Thanks to their expertise, we were able to greatly expand our deployment processes. We were particularly impressed by the individual adaptation of the pipelines to our specific requirements. We not only received technical support, but also training for our employees, which enabled us to manage the processes independently in the long term. Communication was always open, transparent and pleasant. We felt very well looked after and are more than satisfied with the results. We can recommend BrewCode GmbH without reservation.”
