Release Creator

Novomatic's gaming software division released 3-4 software packages weekly across multiple product lines. Each release required skilled engineers to manually extract data from JIRA tickets, transcribe complex technical information, validate configurations across multiple systems, and format release documentation — a process consuming 3-4 hours per release.

With 10-15% error rates leading to deployment delays and the need for weekend work on urgent releases, the manual workflow created operational inefficiency and employee burnout while slowing critical market deployments. Complex data extraction from varied JIRA ticket formats, multi-product support with distinct validation rules, and validation logic across three product lines posed significant technical challenges.

Built an intelligent automation platform with Angular frontend and NestJS backend that connects directly to JIRA for automated data extraction. The system employs product-specific parsing rules for three gaming platforms, a multi-stage validation engine, and Bull/Redis queue-based background processing for complex operations.

Key capabilities include automated JIRA integration eliminating 3+ hours of manual transcription, multi-product intelligence supporting SWA, Impera, and Novoline with unified interface, real-time validation feedback with specific correction guidance, and market license management ensuring gaming compliance across jurisdictions. The repository pattern with dependency injection ensures maintainability and testability.

The platform achieved a 95% reduction in release creation time (3-4 hours to 5-10 minutes), decreased error rates from 10-15% to under 1%, and eliminated weekend work requirements. Annual labor cost savings reached €120,000. Release engineers now process 3-4 releases daily without overtime, and the validation engine catches configuration errors before they reach production.
