SaaS Release: High Velocity, Security, and Quality

Submitted Apr 7, 2025

At Acceldata, we deliver secure software at high velocity. Our strong emphasis on quality and security has driven the development of several tools and processes. These have been unified under our engineering productivity portal, Sentinel.

Sentinel offers state-of-the-art infrastructure for:

  • Deploying micro-environments for development and QE testing
  • Executing, monitoring, and debugging tests
  • Running a Continuous Integration engine that ensures only secure, high-quality software is merged into mainline branches
  • Managing vulnerabilities to keep the engineering team informed and responsive to critical security issues
  • Streamlining release management so that software is seamlessly promoted across environments with proper due diligence

  • Over 100 PRs merged during a typical 2-week release cycle
  • Nearly 500 security vulnerabilities resolved per release
  • Infrastructure capable of handling over 500 builds per release
  • On-demand deployment and teardown of multiple micro-environments
  • One-click promotion of software across environments
