- **Eliminated 80% of manual configuration errors** by enabling
the Kubernetes operator to automatically fetch data from
deployed services and update configurations, **deprecating
legacy startup scripts and reducing overall startup time
by 40%** (**Kubernetes/GoLang** used for this and three below).
- **Reduced deployment time by 66%** by implementing a
[solution](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-operator/commit/175a6356c5474f2360ccb8ae835e0b9b2d653cf1) for deploying locally-compiled binaries onto
Kubernetes/OpenShift via command-line, **cutting average
deployment times from 45 minutes to 15 minutes**.
- **Improved application stability** by introducing startup
probes for legacy applications with longer boot times,
**resulting in a 50% reduction in startup-related failures
and downtime during production launches**.
- **Improved system reliability** by refactoring probes to dynamically assign default values based on YAML files, **increasing probe accuracy by 30%** and preventing misconfigurations.
- **Increased CI pipeline efficiency** by rewriting the
**Jenkins (Groovy)** [nightly pipeline](https://github.com/apache/incubator-kie-kogito-pipelines/commit/4c83f1aecdea2c1ba2796b79839a90d4083dce88) to run in a GitHub PR
environment, allowing for automated testing of all
team-submitted PRs prior to merging, **reducing manual
intervention by 60%**.
