Platform Engineering & DevOps Acceleration

"You don’t need more nodes. You need fewer bottlenecks."

 

Why Varnish for Financial Services?

Fast, secure HTTP delivery in complex environments.

CI/CD in financial services means balancing performance, control, and compliance. Build volumes are high, artifact repositories strain under load, and everything has to comply with strict internal security and audit requirements.

Varnish Enterprise delivers a high-performance caching layer tailored for secure DevOps environments, accelerating CI/CD pipelines, offloading traffic and reducing cloud egress costs. It works with your existing toolchain and policies, without introducing risk or complexity.

Designed for DevOps and Platform Engineers in FS

Varnish Enterprise helps financial services organizations accelerate internal software distribution, improve developer productivity, and reduce the infrastructure overhead of CI/CD pipelines, without sacrificing control.

If you're responsible for:

  • Managing cloud-native CI/CD operations in AWS, Azure, or GCP
  • Leading DevOps implementation and incident response 
  • Optimizing artifact repositories like JFrog Artifactory
  • Driving automation with Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, and Jenkins
  • Ensuring SLA compliance, system reliability, and security audits

Varnish helps you meet these demands by providing:

  • Secure, programmable edge caching
  • Fast artifact delivery while reducing repo, registry and platform strain
  • Reduced bandwidth, latency, and infrastructure costs
  • Implementation without re-tooling

Under the Hood How Varnish Works-1

Proven at Scale: Inside Global Financial Institutions

Varnish is proven within complex, multi-region environments with strict latency, concurrency, and compliance requirements, and is trusted to deliver 10x faster artifact pipelines, 90% reduced repository load and more. Multi-national banks and financial institutions use Varnish as the backbone to secure internal delivery solutions:

  • Accelerates delivery of artifacts, internal RPM repositories, and source-control systems
  • Deployed in a two-tier architecture to handle scale and resiliency
  • Improves cache-hit ratios, reduces origin load, and slashes latency
  • Enables flexible cache invalidation
  • Centrally orchestrated and monitored

Common DevOps Challenges in Financial Institutions

  1. Slow builds and dependency fetches increase recovery time
  2. High cloud egress and artifact replication costs strain budgets
  3. Latency across multi-region pipelines reduces developer velocity
  4. Compliance and audit requirements complicate cache management

Technical Challenges Mean Business Risks-1

How Varnish Helps

Area Problem Varnish Solution
Artifact Repos Repeated Downloads Persistent caching of JARs, Docker layers, etc.
CI/CD Pipelines Latency in builds / tests Instant delivery of dependencies, binaries
Incident Response Platform unavailability Serve stale artifacts while origin recovers
Global Dev Teams Long fetch times Geo-distributed caching nodes
Compliance Security restrictions Auth-aware caching, TLS termination
Security Infrastructure protection DDoS mitigation, IP blocking, encryption
Costs High infra + license fees + egress spend Fewer backend hits, lower license fees, lower egress fees

Quantified Business Impact

Varnish helps solve a set of interlinked problems - latency, cost, infrastructure load, productivity - through a single, drop-in caching layer.

Why Your DevOps Pipeline is Slower Than You Think, And How to Fix It

Why are your builds slow? The answer often lies in artifact retrieval, dependency resolution and software distribution; critical but overlooked parts of the software delivery process.

How To: Caching authenticated Artifactory requests with Varnish Enterprise

Artifactory is a very intelligent tool that usually scales well, but some setups grow so fast that they become a bottleneck. This can cause automated systems to slow down and in some cases it even causes outages.
