Challenge
The client needed a secure, efficient web application to streamline the backporting process (bringing fixes from higher JDK releases into lower ones). The existing workflow was highly manual, time-consuming, and error-prone, involving multiple tools (GitLab, Jira) and requiring significant engineering effort for each backport.
Solution
We developed a full-stack internal web application that automated and simplified backport management. The system provides advanced reporting, seamless integrations, intelligent analysis engines, and automated workflows that transformed the entire development process.
Results
increase in backports completed by engineers
of backports fully automated (clean patches)
reduction in manual cross-platform coordination
Key Features
Advanced Reporting
Real-time dynamic charts and dashboards for tracking backport progress and productivity.
Seamless Integrations
Secure, asynchronous integration with GitLab and Jira for smooth tracking and task management.
Backport Analysis Engine
Algorithms to analyze patches and suggest target releases for backports.
Automated Clean Backports
Intelligent automation for patches that could be safely applied without manual intervention.
Blockers Visualization
Tree-view system to highlight dependencies and blockers across releases.
Secure Async Synchronization
Fast, reliable synchronization across three systems with minimal latency.
