Case Study: the UK Home Office achieves faster, self-service developer delivery with Appvia

Appvia provides the UK Home Office with a centralised, cloud-native developer platform

The UK Home Office faced a challenge in scaling its digital transformation for over 700 developers, as autonomous teams led to technology isolation, high costs, and slow deployment times of up to eight months. Appvia was engaged to help create a central platform to support these teams while reducing costs and improving consistency and security.

Appvia built a cloud-native developer platform on AWS, which provided templated resources, pipeline-as-code, and just-in-time environments. This solution enabled developer self-service, drastically reducing project delivery time from eight months to two weeks and cutting hosting costs by 40%. The platform also improved security and achieved a 50:1 developer-to-DevOps ratio, allowing the Home Office to scale efficiently.
