Dependency Management with Neo4j at the Royal Bank of Scotland

The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has implemented Neo4j to improve its software deployment process, addressing challenges with legacy deployment processes and integration in dependency management. The bank's goal was to achieve full flexibility and control over their deployment process while supporting a business model that includes cloud deployment. By using Neo4j, RBS can model their data as an entity-relationship diagram, making it easier to change the data model on a continuing basis. The tool also provides a true state query, allowing users to determine what was deployed where and when, and enables early warning systems for upgrading code libraries. This has resulted in increased developer productivity and is being rolled out to all RBS Group organizations, aiming to achieve hundreds of successful deployments per day.
