Case Study: United Wholesale Mortgage slashes microservices delivery time with Orkes Conductor

United Wholesale Mortgage Fully Automates Application Bootstrapping, Delivers Swift Business Results via Orkes Conductor

United Wholesale Mortgage, a major mortgage lender, faced significant challenges in deploying new applications and microservices, a process that could take months and hinder their development agility. To reduce this deployment time, their DevOps team, led by AVP Andy French, sought a solution to fully automate their application bootstrapping process and turned to Orkes for its Orkes Conductor platform.

By implementing Orkes Conductor through the fully managed Orkes Cloud, UWM was able to build a new automated system called Keystone. The Orkes solution provided the necessary orchestration, visibility, and manageability, slashing the time to create a microservice from over a month down to just 2-3 minutes. This automation has saved UWM thousands of work hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars, enabling developers to get the resources they need instantly and allowing the DevOps team to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure management.
