Road to Efficient and Data-Driven DevOps
summary
Volkswagen Financial Services runs an API platform that scales to 140 APIs across 100+ AWS accounts in six regions and serves 500M requests/month. Development uses an OpenAPI-first code & deploy generators flow that produces Node microservices and automated AWS deployments, plus standardized tagging and CI/CD manifests that create Datadog monitors and dashboards. Automated multi-step API tests run proactively, alerting on issues (example: email bounce metrics triggering added records and alerts) and driving quarterly investments (top‑5 slow APIs) and architecture changes to async queues.
