Our Journey

Rethinking how we produce, consume and govern data

2013

Adopting an agile working model

In 2013 we shifted to a 100% agile model which gave engineers and business users the ability to innovate at their own pace, driving change for customers.

2014

Modernizing with RESTful APIs

An influx of data came with the need to process and use it more quickly—so we moved from an ETL model and began to modernize our architecture with RESTful APIs, helping teams work more efficiently.

2015

Becoming open source first

Stepping into open source, we committed to designing software in a decentralized and collaborative way, contributing to the tech community at large.

2016

Going all-in on the public cloud

Large amounts of data, changing customer habits and the need to stay competitive drove our move to the cloud. After a nine year journey Capital One would become the first US bank to go all in on the public cloud.

2017

Partnering with Snowflake

By partnering with Snowflake, Capital One engineers could focus less on managing infrastructure and more on building advanced applications, data products and machine learning solutions.

2020

Officially all-in on the cloud

By November 2020 we moved all eight on-premise data centers  to the cloud. Migrating to the cloud has enabled both instant provisioning of infrastructure and rapid innovation. We are  now able to manage data at scale and unlock the power of  machine learning.

2021

Taking internal solutions external

At Capital One, data is the air we breathe. We know that to effectively leverage data at scale, businesses need to rethink each capability in their ecosystem—how to produce, consume, and govern data differently. As we encountered challenges during our data journey, we built and battle tested new cloud and data management solutions.

2022

Launching Capital One Software and Capital One Slingshot

In 2022 Capital One Software launched with our first internally-developed software solution, Capital One Slingshot. Slingshot is  a data management solution that helps businesses accelerate adoption of Snowflake, manage cloud costs and automate critical governance processes.
