Santa Clara, CA, January 08, 2026 –(PR.com)– Atruvia’s Challenge
Atruvia runs the world largest Openshift cluster with 16,000 CPU cores and 1,300 namespaces, furthermore, a sophisticated Service Mesh is running on top of it. To time travel a collection of namespaces together alone with mainframe legacy applications without impacting other namespaces is extremely challenging.
The desire to automate Regression and Integration test with Continuous Integration/Continuous Distribution (CI/CD) Software Life Cycle further complicates matters.
As a result, the Atruvia team faced significant challenges when performing date and time sensitive logic testing in their OpenShift environment. The ability to perform regression testing involving time travel in this heterogeneous environment consisting of OpenShift cluster, mainframes, web servers and databases is crucial. The obstacles prevent them from performing such time travel testing in the course of quality assurance for important financial statements and reports.
The Time Machine Solution
Solution-Soft’s Time Machine solves Atruvia’s challenges by enabling precise time travel across databases and OpenShift clusters. This enables the seamless simulation of specific dates and times using persistent virtual clocks that automate date changes without the need for manual resets, ensuring accurate synchronization.
With the Time Machine agents installed on all relevant systems, it enables synchronized time travel across 1,300 namespaces without disrupting other parts of the cluster.
The deployment has been significantly streamlined with the Time Machine OpenShift Operator, enabling easy installation and automatic configuration of target workloads. Through a simple label assignment, deployments could quickly be prepared for time travel.
In addition, the Time Machine Floating License Server enables the OpenShift environment to scale dynamically by automating the licensing process for each newly created Time Machine pod. The API feature provided by Time Machine Sync Server supports a complete automation of the time travel control (date and time) and can be seamlessly integrated into the existing automation. The solution’s flexibility in adapting to different time zones and speeds further improves testing capabilities.
After Time Machine has been integrated into Atruvia’s DevSecOps operations, it automates time travel for regression testing of date- and time-sensitive banking logic, which is extremely valuable and important for their critical year-end accounting simulations on an annual basis. It also enables smooth software updates during time travel sequences, ensures business continuity, and reduces manual effort.
“Time Machine has changed everything for us. It provides the precise time control features we need to optimize our testing processes and future-proof our systems. The proactive support of the Solution-Soft team made all the difference in ensuring a smooth and successful implementation,” Andreas Wohrle the Technical Project Manager excitedly pointed out.
By using Time Machine, Atruvia was able to significantly improve the testing processes that would otherwise have posed a major challenge when performing extensive critical test scenarios in their complex container OpenShift environment. In addition, operational efficiency and system reliability were increased. Time Machine helps the team to achieve its project goals and deliver on time.
Wolfgang Kraus, overall project manager, says: “We successfully implemented the Time Machine solution for our critical tests and thus ensured smooth operation of the year-end simulation tests. The team received excellent feedback from management, especially for the execution of the year-end processing. Despite many major obstacles in implementing Time Machine, we were able to successfully complete the integration of Time Machine and the subsequent tests with very good results thanks to the close and cooperative partnership with the Solution Soft team.”
