Barclays Cloud Experience Report: “From Racks and Cables to the Cloud”
summary
Barclays relocates a 35‑person accelerator to build a foundational platform that gives developers direct access to the AWS console and API, and it takes two years to go from chaos to a stable, regularly deployed service. Practices adopted include threw 35 people together and forcing work into JIRA, webcams for cohesion, Kanban plus the three amigos pattern to fix testing bottlenecks where initially there were two testers. CI/CD uses Jenkins + AWS, heavy test automation, and Lean Control brings security and ops in early so the platform actually works.
