Operational overhead causes development delays and risk
With millions relying on Riverty’s digital payment solutions across 5,000 online shops, availability and speed are essential.
Riverty’s engineers build and maintain high‑availability APIs to deliver seamless, always‑on access. But they operated under an IT strategy where a central team served as a full-service provider. Infrastructure requests, from provisioning environments to secrets and certificate updates, piled up. Engineers waited days for ticket resolution, delaying delivery and adding friction.
The central team handled secrets manually in Azure Key Vault, creating backlogs. This manual approach risked secret sprawl, expired credentials, and missed updates, raising compliance and auditing concerns.
Investing in speed and scalability with HashiCorp Vault and Terraform
Riverty needed a platform to streamline infrastructure and security management while meeting developer expectations without building everything from scratch. They found that in HashiCorp, an IBM company.
With HashiCorp, Riverty accelerated its cloud migration and move to a DevOps model, enabling engineers to work more independently while reducing risk. Operating in a global, multi‑cloud environment across Azure and Kubernetes made consistency essential, so Riverty adopted IBM Terraform on HashiCorp Cloud Platform to standardise infrastructure as code and automate provisioning. Teams now use reusable, self‑service templates to deploy infrastructure on demand.
To strengthen compliance, Riverty adopted IBM Vault, securing sensitive data and managing secrets at scale, with role‑based access controls supporting strict auditing and regulatory requirements.
Outcomes – Financial Technology for a New Era
With a continually improving infrastructure at its core, Riverty is now better equipped to not just deliver flexible financial solutions to customers but to drive innovation for a new era of financial technology. The HashiCorp Cloud Platform supports Riverty’s most critical applications while enabling engineers to go to market faster and more securely.
As a result, Riverty cut infrastructure provisioning from days to hours with self‑service IaC, reduced rollout cycles from days to the same‑day through PR‑based workflows, and accelerated approvals by 80%.
With HashiCorp Vault, Riverty also addressed its big risk of secrets expiring head-on, automating to become more secure and compliant.
