Servers Are Not the Hardest Thing to Orchestrate
summary
DWP runs about 50 million lines of code and rewrites ~1.5M lines each year while exchanging 10M records daily with 500 organizations in 22 countries and managing £1.75T in assets. A hybrid cloud stack (mainframe, private cloud, hyperscale public cloud) is paired with SRE, automated guardrails, observability and sandboxed environments to enable weekly/fortnightly releases. Result: a pension statement service that drops from two months to 61 seconds with 94% satisfaction; hiring ramps (400 hired, 1,300 planned) to scale the model.
