FinTech Software Company DevOps Transformation Case Study

This case study details the transformation of a FinTech software company that specializes in high-speed financial trading. The organization faced significant challenges due to a major gap between development and operations, which hindered their ability to deliver new features rapidly. With over 5,000 users relying on their platform, the leadership recognized the need for effective DevOps practices. The existing centralized IT operations relied on legacy methods, causing delays in software feature rollouts. To address these issues, the company selected Morpheus as their orchestration platform, replacing previous tools like Red Hat Ansible Tower and Terraform. This decision enabled a self-service provisioning process, reducing the application update rollout time from weeks to just 7 minutes. The integration of Morpheus allowed for continuous deployment and improved collaboration between development and operations teams, ultimately enhancing the quality of application deployments and user experience. The case study emphasizes the importance of cross-functional teams and cultural change in achieving successful technology shifts.
