The newest CD Foundation User Story from SAS is now available 
Scaling Up: Orchestrating CI/CD in a Large Organization. Andrew and Brett shared how SAS improved their software release process to ship faster and more often.
Solution: To create a provenance store that keeps track of events and would allow them to create, retrieve, and query events, event receivers, and groups of event receivers.
Impact: The implementation resulted in improved automated testing, software promotions, security scanning and auditing, as well as, pipeline auditing.
By the Numbers:
- 3000+ developers
- 185,500+ events sent per day
- Thousands of artifacts shipped per week
Thank you to the user story authors:
- Andrew Larsen, Senior Software Developer, SAS
- Brett Smith, Distinguished Software Developer, SAS
