The Ocado Developer Portal is designed to integrate effortlessly with your existing development infrastructure. This includes popular version control systems like GitLab or GitHub, alongside various CI/CD solutions. While we provide robust tools and examples for pipeline implementation, we maintain a flexible, unopinionated stance on specific pipeline structures, ensuring compatibility with your diverse product needs.
Leverage the Portal's powerful deployment orchestrator and resource provisioning services to automate application deployment into AWS and provision cloud resources in a streamlined, secure, and cost-optimised manner. This capability significantly accelerates your Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), ensuring that all deployments are secure, compliant with organisational policies, and continuously monitored.
The platform facilitates efficient artifact management and strictly enforces security best practices throughout your development pipeline. Our approach mandates that configurations and secrets are stored external to applications, with sensitive information encrypted, thereby minimising security risks. You can use your preferred solution for secret management, or leverage our default solution.
The Ocado Developer Portal, through its dedicated Temporary Access service, offers a quick, secure, extensible and fully auditable system for elevated access to protected applications, data, and other critical resources. This feature fundamentally enhances your security posture and compliance by providing structured access permissions. It ensures that developers gain necessary access without maintaining constant, over-permissive privileges, allowing security and compliance to remain paramount. The system is designed to identify application owners and facilitates clear communication for all necessary approvals.
The Ocado Developer Portal empowers clients to significantly extend capabilities by adding their own dedicated self-service options. This inherent flexibility allows you to tailor the platform precisely to your unique workflows and operational needs, cultivating greater self-reliance and efficiency across your development teams. By automating repetitive tasks and streamlining processes, the Portal ensures that users can focus their valuable time on high-impact, value-generating activities.
With the Ocado Developer Portal, you can centrally manage comprehensive data about your software entities, including ownership details and vital documentation, thereby simplifying governance and accountability throughout your entire development landscape. The platform actively automates compliance tasks and enforces strict adherence to industry standards and internal policies, which is absolutely crucial for ensuring accuracy during audits and certifications.
The Ocado Developer Portal streamlines and simplifies the utilisation of AWS services by centrally managing your standards and security configurations. It provides a fully managed account architecture that encompasses runtime, network, and permission management. This comprehensive approach eliminates the necessity for you to build and maintain custom tools, standards, and procedures, thereby significantly reducing operational overhead all while leaving options to extend its functionality with your custom infrastructure.
Ocado Technology offers an "opinionated" yet adaptable toolset, complemented by extensive expertise in effectively using and managing these tools. This enables non-specialists to operate efficiently and securely within the cloud environment. We are also equipped to provide comprehensive consultancy on integrating various tools and overcoming complex challenges, leveraging our deep, accumulated know-how and years of practical experience.
