From Jenkins bottleneck to self-service delivery

How a leading U.S. automotive company cut deployment time by ~85%, migrated 83 apps against a target of 74, moved to self-service delivery with Liatrio and AI-assisted engineering, and is on track to move 80%+ of its portfolio by year-end.

THE CHALLENGE

Delivery ran on aging Jenkins pipelines. For one core application team, every production deployment meant manually SSHing into production servers. Migration to a modern platform had stalled at zero to one app per sprint, and a large portfolio had to move before a firm milestone.

WHAT WE DID — AND WHAT IT BROUGHT

  1. Reusable pipeline templates — Every application now follows the same secure, repeatable path to production on GitHub Actions.

  2. Repeatable, accelerated migration — A migration tool and GitHub Copilot turned one-off rewrites into a repeatable, accelerated process. Internally, Liatrio's team used Claude and Claude Cowork, including scheduled weekly work-stream summaries, to help set up the move to spec-driven development with the client's engineers.

  3. Onboarding in waves — Teams moved together instead of one app at a time, keeping momentum across the portfolio.

  4. Secure by default — Manual SSH access to production servers for deployments is gone. New GitHub Actions workflows deploy automatically, with less risk and no manual steps.

  5. Enablement, not dependency — Client engineers now own the model and deploy on their own through self-service pipelines.

THE RESULTS

  • 83 applications migrated to reusable GitHub Actions pipelines, beating a target of 74

  • One team had 13 of 13 apps live in production by Week 7, against a Week 10 target

  • Static code analysis now live across 70+ applications

WHAT’S NEXT

With 83 apps already migrated, the company is positioned to move 80%+ of its application portfolio onto the new platform by year-end, with self-service delivery as the default for new applications.
