The Need

An internal development portal was causing inefficiencies due to outdated technology and needed modernization and automation support, including:

  • Legacy System Challenges: Update legacy components and plugins using modern technologies and a Domain-Driven Design approach
  • Scalability Requirements: Accommodate the client’s expanding cloud needs while maintaining a user-friendly interface for development teams
  • Process Optimization: Improve efficiency and accelerate the development process by reducing monthly support tickets

The Solution

Streamlining development processes and enhancing team efficiency via:

  • Plug-and-Play Customization: Enabled developers to use pre-built components for tailored solutions without starting from scratch, offering simple default options and advanced tools for complex configurations
  • Automated Workflow: Designed an automated workflow where engineers create a JSON file to define UI intent, submit it to a pipeline, and generate auto-coded UI stored in source control. A Command Line Interface mode was also introduced for programmatic work
  • Modern Technology Stack: Implemented modern frameworks like React and GitOps to create a more dynamic platform and improve the user experience

Results

Improved Efficiency: Successfully automated menu generation and reduced monthly support tickets by 66%

Accelerated Development: Empowered teams to work independently without relying on UI steps or other teams, reducing development cycles from days or weeks to a few hours

Enhanced Automation: Introduced automated tracking, approval, and implementation of changes using pipelines, reducing processing time from days to hours
