Dr. Prasanth Kamma: Innovating Scalable & Secure DevSecOps Strategies for Optimized Salesforce Deployments

Dr. Prasanth Kamma, as Principal Architect in a leading healthcare organization, took on the challenge of overhauling the Salesforce DevSecOps strategy to better handle increasing release complexity in a highly regulated environment. The existing system faced issues such as missed deadlines, security risks, and resource mismanagement. Given the sensitive nature of the clients and the need for compliance with strict regulations like HIPAA and GDPR, it became essential to establish a controlled and efficient release process.

In his role, Dr. Kamma led the creation of a cross-functional team, bringing together developers, operations, and security experts to collaborate on a Multi-path Release Strategy within the Salesforce DevSecOps framework. This approach enabled multiple development teams to work simultaneously, addressing gaps in the release cycle while integrating security practices at the very start of development. The new strategy improved workflow by implementing a CI/CD pipeline with automated security and testing tools, supported by a branching structure for parallel development.

Dr. Kamma’s contributions led to significant improvements, reducing deployment time by half and increasing code quality by incorporating automated security (SAST/DAST) and performance testing. These changes not only enhanced the team’s productivity but also ensured that the healthcare software products adhered to critical security and compliance standards. His leadership and vision positioned his team as key drivers in the company’s digital transformation efforts.
