The Challenge: Legacy Banking

​

​

• Johnny needs 5 systems to complete a single task
• The system got much more complex since the migration to a microservices architecture
• Johnny needs to gather & collect information from friends inside the organization since the docs (if they exist) are outdated.
• Johnny needs other teams help to complete a repetitive task
• The migration to Kubernetes made everything more complex

You Are Not Alone!

​

“An organization’s software gives it a competitive advantage. It’s essential to keep developers of that software happy and productive. A poor developer experience gives rise to quantifiable losses.”

Forrester DEX Report 2023

“Continuing with the same legacy tools, process and organization will prevent cost optimizations and limit agility and growth in the future.”

Gartner Predicts 2023
