Story
Ball grew edge delivery faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, materials teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Platform and web teams were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out F5 WAF put web performance on F5. F5 provides application delivery, security, and traffic management products used in front of enterprise applications. Ball keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so platform and web teams do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier web performance. Edge delivery is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join platform and web teams without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
