The Challenge
KeyWest Networks customizes its products for all the major infrastructure clients and the process requires a high velocity of software releases. For each deployment, KeyWest Networks has a dedicated release manager responsible for the program management, coordination, and success of both the process and deployment. Everyday, the release manager's responsibilities include reviewing code quality scans, ensuring the build and deployments are successful, and performing a sanity test before the release is handed to the QA team for further quality checks. Being a start-up and providing a dedicated resource to each product within each vertical, the overhead quickly begins to cumulate. Keywest Networks was in need of an automated solution to provide leverage across all teams involved within the deployment process.
