(Nasdaq: ALKT) (\"Alkami\"), a digital sales and service platform provider for financial institutions in the U.S., today announced a major enhancement to its Software Development Kit (SDK) with the introduction of Automated Stage Match in the Alkami SDK Wizard; an innovation designed to dramatically accelerate development timelines and elevate the developer experience.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\"Right now, the biggest bottleneck for us isn't building features, it's getting them through the stage match and deployment process,\" said Jordan Lehrman, chief technology officer at iQ Credit Union. \"What should take a couple of weeks can easily stretch into months because of environmental gaps and back-and-forth validation.

That means less time troubleshooting deployments and more time building meaningful enhancements for our members. Ultimately, it strengthens our partnership with Alkami by enabling us to move faster together.\"Automated Stage Match delivers a self-service experience that takes less than 15 minutes. Integrated into the SDK Wizard, it builds on a capability already used by many Alkami customers, allowing developers to quickly align local environments with staging and test against realistic data earlier in the development process. This earlier validation helps teams move through development, testing, and user acceptance testing (UAT) more efficiently, supporting faster SDK upgrades and quicker delivery of new features and enhancements.\"Being able to align our local environment with staging in under 15 minutes significantly accelerates iteration cycles and shortens our path to UAT,\" said Andrew Swayze, core systems analyst at Westmark Credit Union. \"The process was very smooth and straightforward, ...
