Refactoring an entire codebase making the pipeline run time 7x faster, allowing quicker new feature development, and increasing data quality for analysis

Challenge

• The “Portfolio Monitoring and Reporting” project provides multiple dashboard for risk managers to assess their risk
• Over several years of development, the codebase has become entangled and slow which was blocking the delivery of new features

Solution

• Analysed, simplified and refactored the entire codebase to better future-proof the project
• Solution leveraged was the Unified Foundry Ontology (UFO) that we had previously developed
• Pure foundry solution combined with Unit8’s programming expertise and best practices

Business Impact

• Increased code quality and resolved bugs that accounted for millions of CHF in exposure reporting deviations
• Reduction of pipeline execution time from 10h to 90 min, resulting in fresher data available for analysis
• Allowed smoother onboarding of 200+ users
• Established scrum and coding best practices
