How Ping An One Wallet Achieved Full-Scale DevOps Assessment Success

Background

Domestic and international enterprises have shown that standardization and tool empowerment are key to success. The CAICT DevOps standards and the associated continuous delivery pipeline platform can significantly improve quality, efficiency, safety, and agility, enhancing market competitiveness.

Assessment Result

On December 26, 2022, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) announced the latest batch of DevOps standard assessment results. Ping An One Wallet’s AJ (AgileJoin) integrated R&D platform passed the comprehensive system and tool standard evaluation, covering build & continuous integration, pipeline, artifact management, and deployment management, demonstrating advanced domestic capabilities.

Project Overview

The AJ platform is an end-to-end integrated R&D collaboration platform that supports requirement planning, development, continuous delivery, and value review, with data presentation and analysis functions. Initiated in 2021, it addresses the challenges of integrated R&D collaboration and enables stable, rapid delivery of high-quality software and services.

Architecture Highlights

Business architecture adopts domain-driven design, defining bounded contexts for microservice boundaries. Application architecture consists of presentation, application management, support, data, and foundation layers. Technical and data architectures align with existing business systems to ensure high availability, scalability, and easy operation.

Challenges and Solutions

Identifying assessment gaps and implementing platform upgrades within a short timeframe while maintaining stability.

Coordinating extensive process and usage changes without reintroducing risks.

Addressing shortcomings in automation testing, real-time log monitoring, and other tool capabilities.

The team collaborated with the Engineering Process Group (EPG) to deeply analyze the standards, pool resources, and execute the upgrade plan, ultimately achieving a stable rollout and passing the assessment.

Benefits and Outcomes

The platform now provides end-to-end visibility from business demand to technical delivery and value review, establishing a continuous delivery pipeline, quality gates, and full-process coverage. Data is automatically collected, forming a metric system that enables self-service analysis, reduces management overhead, and promotes continuous improvement and DevOps culture.

Future Plans

Building on the DevOps foundation, the team plans to evolve toward DevSecOps and BizDevOps, creating a secure, efficient digital service platform and further enhancing innovation capabilities.

DevOps Capability Maturity Model

The DevOps Capability Maturity Model, jointly developed by CAICT, industry leaders, and major enterprises, is the first comprehensive DevOps standard worldwide, recognized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and adopted by many leading firms. It covers agile development management, continuous delivery, technical operations, security, system and tool management, and business value management.
