Devops Platform Construction for a Japanese Car Company - Industry Cases

Client Profile

Traditional system development is mainly driven by model-driven development, which is facing a series of issues in the digital age, such as accelerated iteration speed, automatic generation of reliable code, and continuous delivery of higher quality. This has also forced companies to further initiate digital transformation in their own software R&D.

Business Challenges

Constantly changing business requirements: Due to the increasing magnitude and complexity of automotive software, customers' development requirements for embedded systems are also getting higher.

Increasing system operation and maintenance costs: The customer's business release cycle is long, with many manual interventions required. Both the time cost of manual intervention and the reliability involved pose significant risks.

Lack of effective measurement of R&D efficiency: Compared with traditional software R&D, automotive software R&D is more complex, and the requirements for efficiency measurement are higher.

Solution

Based on the public cloud platform, Digital China has transformed the customer's multiple application environments with DevOps, achieving unit testing, automated testing of integrated branches, and production environment release. This not only helps the customer to call cloud resources such as container services, function computing, and cloud servers but also clearly manages the entire project delivery lifecycle. Moreover, by continuously automating processes, it optimizes the software delivery process, successfully completing the delivery of several of the customer's R&D projects efficiently.While solving customer needs based on the public cloud platform, Digital China also helps customers improve their R&D efficiency and reduce R&D costs during the pipeline construction process, supporting the customer's technical team to achieve true CI/CD and independent delivery.

Solution Advantages

Building a requirement value stream:
Pull through the end-to-end delivery process, with flow efficiency as the core, organizing cross-functional collaboration.
Building a code change stream:
Take code changes as the unit of flow, pulling through all functions continuously, quickly, and reliably releasing software.

Results & Values

Continuous and rapid high-quality business release

Based on the construction of the CI/CD platform, several application environments of the customer's R&D department are introduced into the R&D process, achieving DevOps, and successfully completing the efficient delivery of several customer R&D projects.

Controllable and observable business version release

The system version is observable in different environments and is controllable in release, while also supporting rapid rollback to avoid greater risks caused by problems that cannot be solved in a short time.
