Case Study: Leading European Credit Services Firm achieves 15% faster deployments and stronger cloud-native microservices with CAST

Strengthen Cloud-Native Microservices Architecture

A leading European credit services firm — a subsidiary of a global financial services group — was rebuilding a customer-facing application on a cloud-native microservices stack to replace a legacy interface. During a limited pilot they found deployments, enhancements and fixes were taking much longer than expected, and IT leadership lacked confidence that the new architecture followed industry best practices.

Using the CAST Application Intelligence Platform, CAST performed a Four‑step assessment (architecture, open‑source risk, technologies inventory, coding and transactional analysis) and evaluated the app against the Twelve‑Factor methodology. CAST’s recommendations (including better cloud‑native use such as serverless clustering, backend resource and deployment improvements, and remediation of vulnerable libraries) were implemented, delivering a 15% faster deployment cadence, improved scalability and confidence to go live for thousands of users.
