How SPD Bank Achieved Leading‑Edge DevOps Maturity: 4 Projects Pass Level‑3 Continuous Delivery

On March 25, 2021, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT), together with the Cloud Computing Open Source Industry Alliance and the Open DevOps Alliance, hosted the fifth "DevOps System Safeguarding Enterprise Digital Transformation" event, announcing the eleventh batch of DevOps standard continuous delivery assessment results.

Four projects from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank (SPD Bank) passed the Level‑3 Continuous Delivery assessment of the CAICT’s "R&D Operations Integration (DevOps) Capability Maturity Model". Level‑3 is considered a domestic leading standard, marking SPD Bank’s projects as top‑tier in continuous delivery capability.

Projects That Passed Level‑3

Enterprise‑grade Micro‑service Platform

Cash‑flow Analysis Management System

Fund Supervision Business System

Financial IC‑Card Business System (ICS)

These projects span both client‑facing and enterprise integration platforms, employing micro‑service and monolithic architectures, and using Java and C languages.

Key Benefits and Improvements

By aligning with the DevOps standard, SPD Bank achieved significant gains in deployment frequency, build time, deployment speed, and unit‑test coverage across all four projects. The bank also unified CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, and reused organization‑wide capabilities such as quality rules, metric feedback, and version management.

Standardized processes, stricter quality control, and enhanced automation have strengthened the teams’ technical skills and deepened their understanding of DevOps culture.

Optimization Measures

Built CI/CD pipelines mirroring the successful Internet‑loan product system to ensure traceability.

Implemented containerized deployments for faster, consistent environments.

Reused organization‑level assets like quality standards and measurement mechanisms.

To address differences among projects—such as varied tech stacks, team sizes, and toolchains—SPD Bank reinforced the DevOps platform, adopted agile team structures, and leveraged container technology for elastic scaling and environment consistency.

Future Plans

SPD Bank aims to extend the improvement experience to more project groups, develop a repeatable DevOps solution, and further enhance the DevOps platform by integrating with the SPD Financial Cloud for cloud‑native transformation.
