Streamlined Development Workflow through GitLab: A Success Story

Automotive companies are under pressure to reduce time to market and deliver outstanding customer experiences. This requires fast cloud services and automated platforms to optimise IT resources and close skills gaps. The transition from traditional ITIL processes to automated self-service workflows is essential.

Our project

Our latest success story shows how we helped a client improve their Developer Experience (DevEx), integrate DevSecOps practices and optimise pipeline development by implementing GitLab. This integration was critical for a fast time-to-market in a competitive industry.

Challenges

The project faced significant challenges:

Complex pipelines: the existing pipelines were challenging to manage, leading to failures and delays in the CI/CD process.
Limited tools: Jenkins, the CI/CD tool used, was limited in scalability and ease of use and required extensive manual configuration.
High operating costs: Maintenance costs were continuously increasing.
Security risks: Manual management of sensitive data such as passwords and API keys increased the risk of security breaches.

Advantages for the customer

Increased quality and efficiency of software development
Improved resilience through automation
Better teamwork and developer experience

Increased competitive advantage through innovation
Significant cost savings and increased sustainability
