Gorilla Logic Accelerates Development and Reduces Support Load for Global Auto Manufacturer with Cloud Component Strategy
| Client | Industry | Solution Provided | Technologies Used |
|---|---|---|---|
| Global Automotive Manufacturer | Auto & Manufacturing | Digital Product Development, Cloud Modernization, DevOps | React, GitOps, CLI, JSON |
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An internal development portal was causing inefficiencies due to outdated technology and needed modernization and automation support, including: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
