How DevOps is a gamechanger in Financial Services

DevOps is being adopted by almost all software powered companies nowadays. However, the finance industry has been a tad bit slow in this progress because of various issues relating to security, compliance, and governance. But with the rise of Digital Transformation, the finance industry is currently leading it. 

Why DevOps is necessary for the finance industry?

High customer engagement and continuous transactions make the finance industry one of the busiest and require uninterrupted infrastructure. DevOps structure helps to develop faster, fail fast, and learn fast in order to fulfill customer expectations and deliver features faster to market.

What are the challenges? 

  • Restrictions on secured networks
  • Full lifecycle governance 
  • Strong ACLs models

Note – Security and compliance are the top concerns in a financial company, and DevOps is viewed as a risk factor to security.
