TODO1 is a leading mobile and online banking platform serving 10 Million users and over 2 Billion transactions per year. They began their DevOps journey in order to support the business’ goal to grow their user base 10x in three years.

Ironically, huge initial success with DevOps (like an 83% reduction in deployment times) revealed unexpected downstream challenges and barriers.

In this talk, TODO1’s Director of Technology Architecture will share some insights to their successes, and plans for continuing to optimize their release process, including:

- How agility gains in one place revealed bottlenecks elsewhere–and how they tackled them.

- The benefits of a “pipeline-first” rather than “stack-first” approach to automation (horizontal vs. vertical).

- How automation naturally forced adoption of a “more lean” deployment processes.

- Successful approaches to getting other teams on board.
