The fintech sector depends on speed, security, and trust. Companies must release updates quickly while meeting strict rules. Manual processes slow delivery and increase risk.
Our client, a growing fintech firm, ran multiple apps on Azure Virtual Machines. This setup worked at first but became hard to scale. Deployments were slow, teams worked in silos, and manual steps caused errors.
The client needed automation, CI/CD pipelines, and Azure services to support growth. Teleglobal designed and delivered a full Azure DevOps solution.
Problem
Key issues with the old setup:
Manual configuration of Azure VMs.
Long deployment cycles.
Poor collaboration between dev and ops teams.
Frequent errors during updates.
Difficult scaling and rising costs.
The client wanted faster releases, secure deployments, and a system ready for future growth.
Solution
We built a DevOps pipeline on Azure with full automation.
Source Code with Azure Repos
Code moved into Azure Repos for version control.
Teams tracked changes, managed branches, and worked on one secure platform.
Used Azure Pipelines to automate builds, tests, and deployments.
Each commit triggered a pipeline.
Pipelines ran scans, built artifacts, and deployed to Azure Virtual Machines.
Deployment time dropped from hours to minutes.
Package Management with Azure Artifacts
Adopted Azure Artifacts for shared components.
Hosted and versioned npm, Maven, and NuGet packages.
Teams reused packages safely, reducing build time.
This pipeline gave the client secure, repeatable, and fast deployments.
New Challenge: Cluster Migration
After success with DevOps, the client asked for a cluster migration. They needed apps moved from one AKS cluster to another.
The goals:
No downtime during migration.
Azure Load Balancer and Traffic Manager must point to the right cluster.
Security and consistency must remain intact.
Migration Process
We solved migration step by step:
Task Definition Reuse
Cloned the task definition from the old cluster.
Reused it for the new cluster.
Port Conflicts Fixed
Ports had to match in both clusters.
Added a new Azure Virtual Machine in the cluster.
Launched tasks with the same port, solving conflicts.
Pipeline Update
Updated Azure Pipeline with new cluster details.
Automated deployments now targeted the new AKS cluster.
Traffic Routing
Updated Azure Load Balancer and Traffic Manager endpoints.
Traffic shifted smoothly to the new cluster.
The migration was completed with no downtime.
Results
The improvements were clear:
Deployment speed cut from hours to minutes.
Team collaboration improved through one source of truth.
Reliability increased with containerized builds.
Scaling became simple with automated pipelines.
Costs reduced through efficient use of Azure services.
The client now deploys updates often, with high uptime and confidence.
Conclusion
By adopting Azure DevOps for fintech, the client moved from slow, manual work to fast, automated releases.
With Azure Repos, Docker, Pipelines, and Artifacts, Teleglobal delivered a secure and scalable setup. The smooth AKS migration proved the system’s flexibility.
The fintech company now enjoys:
Faster releases.
Secure deployments.
Better team collaboration.
Lower costs.
This shows how Azure DevOps in fintech can drive growth and stability.
