Modern Development in Traditional Retail
summary
IKEA explains concrete steps: migrating from legacy mainframes and an 80s Pascal system through large-scale outsourcing in 2011 to early cloud use in 2014, reorganizing from projects to product teams, and adopting DevOps practices across JVM Node and Go stacks. It measures DORA metrics — deployment frequency, lead time for changes, time to restore service, change failure rate — uses multi‑cloud and serverless, separates deploy and release, and runs inner‑source engineering to raise team performance.
