DEFRA's journey to faster, efficient, and reliable software delivery | AWS Public Sector
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has revolutionised its software delivery process by using the AWS Cloud. The Core Delivery Platform, built on AWS ECS and Fargate, reduced environment setup time from months to minutes, enabling teams to focus 90% of their time on solving business problems rather than managing infrastructure. This transformation has dramatically improved delivery speed, reduced costs, and enhanced software quality, setting new standards for government digital services.
