Allianz Direct transformed its DevOps team into a platform engineering team to optimize technology, people, and processes across its organization. The transition involved overcoming initial anti-patterns, defining clear DevOps principles, controlling the backlog, and adopting a cloud-native stack. Key achievements included revamping the CI/CD pipeline with Argo CD, reducing vulnerabilities, shifting to continuous security, and implementing organizational-level service-level objectives (SLOs). This approach helped boost software delivery performance and foster a culture of closer collaboration and shared responsibility.
