Challenge Our engineering teams were consistently hindered by excessively protracted environment setup times, which significantly delayed overall time to market. Furthermore, they struggled with critical, unmet requirements for long-term code maintainability while simultaneously battling escalating security vulnerabilities in crucial open-source software dependencies.
