How Zhengzhou Exchange’s Tech Team Earned Top‑Tier DevOps Level‑3 Delivery
In a detailed Q&A, Zhengzhou Yisheng Information Technology shares how its two exchange‑focused platforms achieved the DevOps Continuous Delivery Level‑3 assessment, highlighting process improvements, metric gains, architectural choices, challenges overcome, and future plans for broader digital transformation.
Interview Overview
On October 26, 2023, at the 21st GOPS Global Operations Conference in Shanghai, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology announced that Zhengzhou Yisheng Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Zhengzhou Exchange Tech) passed the DevOps Continuous Delivery Level‑3 assessment for two projects, demonstrating leading domestic capability.
Projects Assessed
The evaluated projects are the “Zhengzhou Exchange Off‑Market Comprehensive Business Platform” and the “Zhengzhou Exchange Member Service Platform”. Both platforms support the exchange’s full‑process trading, settlement, clearing, and risk control, and provide one‑stop services for enterprises.
Motivation for Assessment
Guided by the CSRC’s “14th Five‑Year Plan” for securities and futures technology, the company built a DevOps system to standardize, automate, and tool‑enable development, enhancing safety, efficiency, and stability for digital transformation.
Impact of the Assessment
The assessment prompted improvements in development processes, toolchains, and team communication, resulting in faster, higher‑quality deliveries, clearer transparency, and stronger collaboration.
Measured Improvements
After implementing the delivery toolchain, the requirement‑to‑deployment cycle dropped from 30 days to about 7 days, unit‑test coverage rose above 50 %, interface‑test coverage reached 100 %, and average build time fell to roughly 5 minutes.
Design and Architecture
The platforms were built using domain‑driven design and service‑oriented architecture, enabling synchronized business and technical layers, service mirroring, and containerized deployment.
Challenges and Solutions
Key challenges included a long toolchain across many departments and misunderstandings of the DevOps model. The company addressed these through cross‑department collaboration, regular communication, training, and shared best‑practice mechanisms.
Future Plans
Having established benchmark projects, the company plans to standardize, tool‑enable, and automate development across all projects, reduce cognitive complexity, and continue improving developer experience and delivery efficiency.
Outlook for DevOps
With cloud and container technologies maturing, DevOps is expected to grow, especially through platform engineering that offers one‑stop services for the entire software lifecycle.
