Story
Inside CooperCompanies, continuous delivery used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in health care groups working out of the United States. Engineering teams needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
CooperCompanies uses Nomad from HashiCorp as the working layer for build and deploy. HashiCorp (an IBM company) provides infrastructure automation software, including Terraform and Vault, for cloud provisioning and secrets. The practical change is simple: continuous delivery has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What CooperCompanies gets from HashiCorp is a durable place to run continuous delivery and a way for engineering teams to see the same build and deploy at the same time.
