Webank open source exploration practice
Looking back at the development of information technology, open source has played a vital role in promoting technological innovation, profoundly affecting the software development model, and gradually developing into more fields such as hardware and data. Especially in the last 15 years, emerging industries such as cloud computing, mobile Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and blockchain are mostly built on the basis of open source.数字化转型网www.szhzxw.cn
First, policies promote the development of open source technology, and the financial industry actively layout
In the process of digital transformation. China has made full use of the advantages of open source, solved some “jammed” information technology problems. And greatly reduced the cost of technological innovation and application. Based on this, open source has also become one of the important ways to accelerate digital development and build a digital China. The 14th Five-Year Plan calls for supporting the development of innovative consortials such as open source communities for digital technologies, improving open source intellectual property rights and the legal system. And encouraging enterprises to open software source code, hardware design and application services.
As an important part of China’s economy, the financial industry has been actively using open source technology to promote business innovation, reduce costs and increase efficiency, and improve user experience.
In October 2021, the People’s Bank of China and other five departments jointly issued the Opinions on Regulating the Application and Development of Open Source Technology in the Financial Industry (hereinafter referred to as the Opinions). Which laid out the layout for standardizing the rational application of open source technology by financial institutions. Improving the application level and autonomous controllable ability. And promoting the healthy and sustainable development of open source technology.
The Opinions require financial institutions to follow the principles of “safe and controllable, compliant use. Problem-oriented and open innovation” when applying open source technology. And encourage financial institutions to incorporate the application of open source technology into their own information development plans, strengthen the organization, management and coordination of the application of open source technology. And establish and improve the application management system of open source technology. Formulate reasonable open source technology application strategy. The introduction of “Opinions” has accelerated the development of open source ecology in China’s financial industry. And made open source technology become one of the mainstream directions of financial technology development to a certain extent.
Second, WeBank steadily promotes the implementation of the open source strategy in stages
The comprehensive open source technology strategy has always been an important measure of WeBank in the field of science and technology. Since its establishment, WeBank has fully applied open source technology. And has been actively and continuously participating in the construction of open source community for many years, adhering to the concept of open cooperation. And jointly explore and practice with diverse open source community partners. And jointly promote open source technology innovation and ecological prosperity.数字化转型网www.szhzxw.cn
The development of Webank’s open source practice has roughly gone through the following three stages.
The first stage (2014-2018) : in-depth application of open source and external open source exploration
Webank regards fintech as its core engine and embraces open source as an inevitable choice. In terms of technology, WeBank has unswervingly taken the path of autonomy and control. And achieved comprehensive autonomy and control from infrastructure to upper applications. Including basic hardware based on X86/ARM architecture, distributed bank core system based on various open source technologies, etc.. And cracked the “impossible triangle” problem of traditional financial technology with large capacity, low cost and high availability.
In terms of large capacity, WeBank served 360 million individual customers and 3.4 million small and micro market entities. With a peak daily transaction volume of more than 846 million. In terms of high availability, key production application service availability exceeded 99.999%. In terms of low cost, the annual IT cost per account is less than 2 yuan. Less than one-tenth of the average level of domestic and foreign financial industry. All these have become a strong support for WeBank to better serve the public and carry out continuous business innovation.
After enjoying the huge dividends brought by open source technology. Webank has gradually begun to give back and build the open source community. In 2017, WeBank jointly established a financial blockchain cooperation alliance with Tencent. Shenzhen Securities Connect, Qianhai Financial Holding, and Shenzhen Fintech Association. And created FISCOBCOS, the underlying platform of the open source alliance chain. As the core maintainer of the FISCOBCOS open source project, Webank undertakes the heavy task of building the underlying platform of the open source alliance chain. And continues to promote the prosperity and development of the open source ecology of blockchain technology in China.
The second stage (2019-2021) : Open source strategy-driven, cumulative results
After more than two years of experience in operating the open source community of FISCO BCOS. WeBank has strengthened its determination to fully embrace open source. In May 2019, WeBank established an Open Source Management Office (OSPO) to take open source as one of its technology strategies and carry out in-depth open source governance work; In July 2019, a Fintech Open Day conference with open source as the theme was held. Ma Zhitao, Vice president and chief information officer of Webank, officially announced that WeBank’s fintech is fully open source. And will return some of its core technical capabilities and exploration in cutting-edge technologies to society through open source. And called on many partners to create an open community environment and promote the development of open source culture. Since then, Webank open source has entered a stage of rapid development with planning and system.
Phase 3 (2022-present) : Effectively manage open source risks to achieve sustainable development
Webank adheres to the community operation philosophy of open collaboration and win-win cooperation. After years of continuous investment, WeBank has gradually established an open source project community with greater influence and representation in various technical fields such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing and big data. At the same time, WeBank has constantly improved its internal open source governance system. Under the premise of effectively controlling the security, compliance and other risks faced by open source. The open source culture and collaboration mode are integrated into the internal R & D activities of the enterprise. And the “double cycle” of internal and external open source is opened to achieve sustainable development.
Third, the “trinity” of organization, process and tools, and the open source governance system is gradually improved
At present, WeBank has established an open source governance system featuring organizational structure, process system and tool platform. Which provides systematic support for participating in open source activities.数字化转型网www.szhzxw.cn
In terms of organizational structure, at the beginning of the establishment of OSPO. WeBank made in-depth research and reference to the management systems and operation modes of major open source foundations and some large open source project communities. And determined the organizational structure and functional positioning in line with its own characteristics.
The open source management organization of Webank is positioned as an “open source foundation within the bank”. And its management supervision organization is an open source management working group composed of the chief information Officer. The heads of major product development departments, science and technology management departments. And information security departments, which directly reports to the Information Technology Committee, the highest-level decision-making body related to information technology. This means that the company manages open source, R&D management and operation and maintenance management at the same level. And its open source management office connects various functional posts related to open source governance. Such as compliance, information security, intellectual property rights, and brand publicity, to make overall planning for all work.
In addition, WeBank has established a Technical Supervision Committee (TOC).
TOC is composed of technical experts selected or recommended by various departments. It is mainly responsible for formulating technical standards and norms, solving technical problems, promoting internal open source, building public platforms, promoting the construction of technology-driven decision-making mechanism with the product-driven and agile organizational structure, strengthening technology linkage, and creating an open, collaborative and transparent atmosphere. The establishment of TOC is one of WeBank’s important explorations in open source construction.
The establishment of the Open Source Management Office has accelerated the process of WeBank’s full open source. And ensured that the open source strategic goals of various departments and positions involved in open source technology and governance remain consistent. Whether it is the use and release of open source projects within the enterprise. Or the contribution of open source projects and the development of open source projects need to pay attention to the community public relations. The open source management office has played an efficient synergistic role in promoting the relevant roles and activities organically and closely linked together to promote the implementation of the company’s open source strategy.
In terms of process system, WeBank has successively issued a series of management measures and guidelines related to open source
In terms of process system, WeBank has successively issued a series of management measures and guidelines related to open source. Including the “Management Measures for the Use of Open Source Software”, “Management Measures for Open Source Management” and “Management Measures for Open Source Incentive Management”.数字化转型网www.szhzxw.cn
The Measures for the Management of the Use of Open Source Software have formulated the standards and procedures for the management of the whole life cycle of open source software applied in the industry, including the specific management requirements of different stages of open source introduction, development, operation and maintenance, and exit, established the evaluation model of open source software, clarified the rules of open source software reference and version control, and recorded the use of open source software. And design the exit mechanism and exit process of open source software. So as to ensure the security of the internal open source software supply chain.
The Open Source Management Measures regulate the management of the whole life cycle of open source software initiated by enterprises and the behavior of participating in external open source activities
The Open Source Management Measures regulate the management of the whole life cycle of open source software initiated by enterprises and the behavior of participating in external open source activities (such as joining open source related organizations, donating projects, etc.), clarify the responsibilities of relevant participants in the implementation of open source, ensure the whole process is legal, compliant, safe and controllable, and improve the efficiency of external open source work. Combined with industry best practices, management requirements and guidance are put forward for the feasibility analysis of open source projects, open source license selection, operation system planning, code hosting specifications, intellectual property protection, compliance and safety inspection, etc., to ensure the high-quality development of open source projects.
The “Open Source Incentive Management Measures” clearly defines the honors and incentive methods that internal employees can obtain when participating in various open source activities. And conveys the value orientation of participating in open source among all employees. Awards include “Open source Outstanding Contribution team” and “Open source Outstanding contribution individual”, etc., are selected on a quarterly basis, and outstanding employees are given honors and certain material incentives in time. In addition. The Open source Management Office also tracks the open source participation behavior of all people through systematic statistics. Such as actively participating in the construction of internal open source projects, actively publishing articles in the open source community, actively sharing experience in the open source salon, etc. Awarding points with equivalent monetary value to each specific behavior, and setting up a hierarchical mechanism. Motivate employees to participate in open source continuously and joyfully.
In terms of tool platform, WeBank has developed a set of open source governance scheme that runs through the DevOps process around the management system and process system
In terms of tool platform, WeBank has developed a set of open source governance scheme that runs through the DevOps process around the management system and process system. And introduced a professional open source governance platform to achieve system control. The platform includes software asset distribution visualization, software asset tracking and positioning, known vulnerability search and positioning, new vulnerability self-detection and early warning, rich knowledge base, open API and so on. At the same time, WeBank also deeply integrates the platform with the relevant systems of the R&D process system.
At the introduction stage, through the open source blacklist registered in the system and the management of various security compliance policies, Webank automatically determines whether new external open source software can be introduced. In the code writing stage, through the IDE plug-in tool, developers can easily scan the component dependencies of the system. And timely give various reminders and help according to the governance strategy. So that developers can deal with and repair in a more timely manner; During the build or test transition phase, dependency scans are automatically triggered continuously during the integration process and various policies are automatically executed according to the set rules. In short, while conducting agile development, WeBank tries to achieve safe left shift as much as possible. And through various closed-loop process management, ensures effective control and rapid response in all development activities. Thus greatly reducing the risk of open source application.
Fourth, fully embrace the open source community, and the open source ecological construction has achieved remarkable results
In addition to constantly improving the open source governance system within the whole bank to ensure that it is truly “safe, controllable and compliant”, WeBank also actively explores open source and community construction, striving to become the vanguard of China’s financial industry in the construction of open source ecology, making full use of the open and innovative characteristics of open source software. And contributing to the technological development of the industry. As of April 2023, WeBank has 33 open source projects. With a total of more than 37,000 Stars and more than 13,700 forks.
