195-year-old KeyBank explains how a partnership with Google Cloud is helping it build software faster and even take better advantage of Microsoft's and Amazon's clouds too
It used to take 195-year-old bank KeyBank three to four months to plan new features for its website and app. Thanks to technology from Google Cloud, however, it has cut that planning time down to one week., a Google-created open source software project best suited to running large-scale applications in the cloud, to power its website and app.
As a financial institution, KeyBank has to adhere to strict regulatory standards about where and how its data is stored, meaning that despite all of its efforts to modernize its infrastructure on all three major cloud platforms, its private servers aren't going anywhere. On the other hand, McFee says, it's had a chance to work closely with Google to make Anthos better-suited to its needs, and learn how to get more out of it.
Before Kubernetes came to KeyBank, it used to take as long as a month just to get the servers ready for the developers to create new features. McFee says that now, it's a week, meaning that the pace of development is that much faster. Furthermore, testing new code is simpler too, McFee says, because the feedback cycle on new features has gone from 30 days to instant.
