Faster Innovation with Confidence
How CI/CD & Containers Help Arrayent Go Faster
First in series of webinars on 5 C’s That Changed the Future - CI, CD, Containers, Cloud & Culture
Arrayent’s journey to IoT innovator began with 3-month delivery cycles and siloed teams. Now they have 10x faster new product delivery and are recognized innovators, acquired by Prodea. Challenges included big-bang deliveries with scary deployments, growing infrastructure requirements for multiple data centers, regulations and security -- and a lack of confidence in the product delivery process.
The solution for faster innovation included:
- Solid architecture & design
- Continuous integration & continuous delivery pipelines
- Containers/localized environments with Docker Compose and Amazon ECS
- Test automation
- Cloud infrastructure with Amazon Web Services (AWS)
The results are impressive. 10x improvement in new product delivery speed. Significant reduction in errors in their software stack. An ability to rapidly provision PoC environments for prospective customers that accelerated the sales process and improved customer experience. Perhaps most important, the Arrayent team releases new products iteratively, improving customer responsiveness and confidence.
