The new way to make developers’ lives easier
In order to scale, DZ BANK needed to address their slow developer onboarding, inconsistent security practices, and limited access to cloud-native tools. They implemented Google Cloud Workstations, providing developers with pre-configured, secure, and cloud-based environments. This reduced onboarding times by 85%, streamlined manual setup, and enabled developers to focus on coding from day one. Cloud Workstations provided developers with AI code assistance tools like Gemini, fostering innovation and productivity.
Why Google Cloud?
DZ BANK selected Cloud Workstations for its ease of use, security features, and seamless integration with other Google Cloud services. The service is fully managed, eliminating the need for infrastructure management, while its support for customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) ensures data encryption. The ability to customize base images with pre-configured integrated development environments (IDEs) and extensions further enhance developer productivity. Plus, integration with Terraform enables automated provisioning and management of Cloud Workstations, streamlining the development workflow.
Cloud Workstations provide an easy way to standardize our development environments. We can use preconfigured base images to manage infrastructure, OS patches, and security patches without any extra effort.
