Case Study: Liberty Mutual achieves developer empowerment and day-one app deployment with VMware Tanzu

How Liberty Mutual Empowers Developers Through Education

Liberty Mutual set out to accelerate cloud delivery by empowering developers to be self-sufficient—ideally letting a new engineer deploy an app on day one. As they advanced toward DevOps maturity, the platform team found that better tools and culture weren’t enough: user research showed knowledge gaps and assumed skills in pipelines, and manual processes (tickets for DNS, identity, security) slowed deployments and reduced developer productivity.

Their response combined automation, self-service and an ongoing, immersive education program. By automating the code-to-production path (including security) and running hackathons, Dojos and labs with external experts to teach XP, TDD and platform-specific practices, Liberty Mutual created a culture of continuous learning. The result: faster, more secure cloud delivery, higher developer autonomy, and measurable acceleration in delivering business value.
