Abstract:

Driven by the need to move quickly CoreMedia's customers are demanding deployment automation and continuous delivery. Consequently, as a vendor of an enterprise content management system, CoreMedia is incorporating support for deployment tools and processes directly into its product.

The presentation covers the challenges that CoreMedia has been facing and the solutions the engineers have applied when advancing the product to integrate with automation tools and processes. The challenges included that the development teams had only limited operations experience and could only acquire knowledge from CoreMedia professional services and customers in slow feedback cycles. The product is deployed on various platforms, each requiring their toolchains, thus generating complex requirements.

To overcome the obstacles, a dedicated development team has been ramped-up to concentrate on deployment automation and continuous delivery. They created automated setups for CoreMedia QA and CI systems to gain operations experience and establish a fast in-house feedback cycle.
