Verizon cuts datacenter rebuilds from 30 days to 8 hours

What this post added

This post details how Verizon Connect migrated from a monolithic, Java-based application architecture to a microservices architecture using GitLab. They achieved a reduction in datacenter rebuilds from 30 days to 8 hours by focusing on architecture, automation, extensibility, and future-proofing. GitLab was chosen as a single solution to replace disparate tools like Jira, BitBucket, and Jenkins, providing integrated code review, CI/CD, issue tracking, source code management, audit management, and ChatOps capabilities. This enabled them to achieve deployment flexibility, platform agnosticism, streamlined processes, and focus developers on differentiating tasks.
