DevOps @ Fidelity - Investing in Inner Source and Engineering Excellence

Tapabrata "Topo" Pal, Vice President, Architecture, Fidelity Investments
Fidelity Investments is a privately owned company, one of the world’s largest and most diversified financial service providers. Starting in 1946, Fidelity Investments has been a company deeply invested in technology and using technology to deliver services to its customers. Fidelity embraced DevOps practices very early on around 2014. In 2016, Fidelity successfully deployed an application on the public cloud for the first time. Today, about 50% of Fidelity’s applications run on public cloud. The goal is to reach 80% cloud adoption by the end of 2024.
In this experience report, I will present Fidelity’s DevOps journey over the years, the challenges faced and what is being done to address those. Over the past about years and a half, there has been significant focus around increased collaboration, modernizing technology, improving developer experience and engineering practices while being secured and compliant.
