Go Faster, Break Less: DevOps Transformation at HSBC
summary
Describes a bankwide DevSecOps program that defines one clear metric set, automates controls and measures release frequency with PD PD PD Y across roughly 5,000 pods and 50,000 engineers, pushes a "double releases, half incidents" ambition, and scales a pilot that goes from weekly to 100x releases per day. Reports operational results: 40% uplift in one year, elimination of 35,000 days of engineer toil, and a control-as-product approach that automates previously manual approvals.
