Roundtable discussion with Allianz Deutschland - Sarah Heldt, Simon Neusser, & Denis Kostic
summary
Mobile app Meine Allianz supports ~20 million customers with native iOS and Android frontends (Android in Kotlin) and a Spring Boot API running on Cloud Foundry (two production instances). Small cross‑functional team (5 devs, 1 designer, 1 product owner) uses Jenkins and Fastlane CI to run >1000 tests and push straight to App Store; deployment is fast and autonomous. Pain points: no built‑in blue/green deploy, autoscaler can drop in‑flight requests, and a log‑format change broke monitoring — overall one year in production with no major platform outages.
