Story
Inside Mass General Brigham, environment provisioning used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in health care groups working out of the United States. Platform engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Mass General Brigham uses Snyk Container from Snyk as the working layer for infrastructure as code. Snyk helps developers find and fix vulnerabilities in code, open source, containers, and infrastructure as code. The practical change is simple: environment provisioning has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Mass General Brigham gets from Snyk is a durable place to run environment provisioning and a way for platform engineers to see the same infrastructure as code at the same time.
