Living by its namesake is something regatta.com are doing with their ECommerce business due to some fantastic strategic partnerships.
Adobe provide the core E-Commerce application in Adobe Commerce. Vue Storefront are the front-end PWA soon to be serving all customers worldwide. Steamhaus provide the AWS infrastructure and cloud expertise for production. Sitting at the heart of the Regatta Dev Ops culture is MDOQ, a ground-breaking application which provides automation at scale for infrastructure, development and QA.
At any one time, Regatta have over 100 replications of regatta.com enabling rapid development of new features. The major difference between MDOQ and traditional development is that the instances are cloud-based and therefore individual instances can quickly move across large teams from operations, development, support and QA, removing all the limitations of local workstation development which impede cross-functional collaboration in large teams.
"MDOQ saves us so much valuable time, and gives our developers a lot of freedom, whilst also reducing risk. " Jeff Fox, Head Of Technology - Ecommerce, Regatta
With over 20 staff members working on separate development streams, MDOQ creates much greater flexibility and enables higher output as developers do not need to manage any local application setup in order to develop. Ultimately this leads to fast, continuous delivery of features to ensure regatta.com can keep one step ahead of their competition.
"We have seen an impressive uptake of Javascript and UX developers becoming productive on projects very quickly because they don't need to become experts in the whole Magento stack. Fully-functional developer instances of Magento or Vue Storefront are automatically created along with a whole host of tools to improve developer output. Ultimately devs spend much more time writing code, which usually leads to many more great things most notably job satisfaction." Arron Moss, Co-Founder - MDOQ
