DevOps at Lowe's - Our Journey

As technology and software design practices morph and change, Lowe’s Digital has had to do the same. Moving from a single monolithic web application to multiple mobile applications for both consumers and associates has forced us to look at how we manage our development lifecycle differently. This complex landscape has changed how we look at how we leverage Akamai and their array of solutions in both our lower and production level environments. In this presentation we will discuss where we started, the challenges we faced along the way, and how we are leveraging tools and Akamai API's to streamline our solutions delivery pipeline.
