The Challenge

CAR’s previous development environment negatively impacted productivity and made it difficult for current developers to build new features. They also suffered from onboarding challenges and a slower time to market, which had a detrimental effect on the customer experience.

CAR contacted Oshyn to update the solution architecture so that developers could quickly create new environments and avoid these costly issues.

The Solution

Oshyn had worked with CAR on previous projects and proactively identified the need to fix the development environment problem.

Oshyn updated the solution architecture developed for Sitecore 8 to deliver a modern architecture that reflected the best practices for the latest version of Sitecore 10 and would ensure that the implementation ran smoothly.

The Oshyn team also restructured dependencies to make them more optimal and agile. This would improve stability, performance, and security, simplify future maintenance and support, and enable faster development cycles.

They also implemented a modern .NET-based build solution, simplifying development processes, reducing errors, and improving overall system performance.

The Outcome

Oshyn successfully updated the CAR website, including all production and non-production environments. Following Oshyn’s work, the compilation time for new features was reduced from 5 minutes to 1 minute. This led to a faster time to market, easier rollout of new features, and a more reliable system.

Additionally, developers could create new environments on a virtual machine in under a day instead of multiple days. These updates would enrich the developer experience and give them more time to focus on implementing new features and delivering a better experience for CAR customers.
