Case Study: Scotiabank achieves automated platform operations and faster developer productivity with VMware Tanzu

How Scotiabank is Modernizing its Approach to Software Development

Scotiabank, a 186-year-old bank, adopted the cloud-native Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) to boost developer productivity but faced the challenge of operating and securing the platform at scale—supporting hundreds or thousands of developers without a matching increase in operations staff.

The bank automated platform management using Concourse CI/CD pipelines for installs, upgrades, backups, and maintenance, enabling near-zero-downtime changes and minimal user impact. The automation cut repetitive work, freed engineers to tackle higher-value engineering tasks, and paved the way for new features to improve developer flexibility and customer experience.
