Journey To The Cloud
summary
Axway moves from on‑premise SVN and quarterly releases to cloud-first GitLab workflows, claiming 26x faster release cycles and 100% developer adoption. CI starts in Jenkins and, after hitting scale pain at ~15 microservices, shifts to GitLab CI for faster feedback; CD follows GitOps practices. Measured outcomes: deployments rise from weekly to multiple times daily (often 2–3/day), lead time ~1–7 days, MTTR ~2 hours (some services 12 minutes), change failure drops under 15% and some services to ~5%. Tooling becomes productized with dashboards, error budgets and blameless postmortems.
