IGS Case Study - Using DevCycle in a Cloud-Based Microservices Architecture

Intelligent Growth Solutions (IGS), a company at the forefront of the vertical farming industry, has significantly enhanced its development and deployment processes by adopting DevCycle, a feature and release management tool. Initially faced with inefficient and costly testing environments and inflexible code deployments, IGS transitioned from an in-house solution to DevCycle, enabling them to streamline their testing environments and reduce costs from $45,000 to $4,000 per month. This transition has allowed IGS to implement feature flags for controlled and incremental feature releases, improving release confidence and targeting capabilities. The adoption of DevCycle has resulted in over $40,000 in savings, increased productivity, and greater flexibility, as engineers can now focus more on development rather than managing testing environments. Encouraged by the success of this implementation, IGS plans to expand the use of feature flags to more back-end processes, further optimizing their deployment strategies while focusing on their core mission of revolutionizing vertical farming.
