How Verizon Connect reduced datacenter rebuilds from 30 days to under 8 hours with GitLab

In 2016, the Verizon Connect Telematics Container Cloud Platform team faced challenges with lengthy data center builds and manual processes due to their reliance on legacy systems and disparate tools like BitBucket, Jenkins, and Jira. To improve deployment speed and automation, they transitioned to a microservices architecture and aimed for complete CI/CD, focusing on automation, simplification, and avoiding vendor lock-in by using open-source tools. They selected GitLab for its open-source nature, ease of use, and comprehensive features, which replaced multiple systems and provided a unified solution for code review, CI/CD, issue tracking, and more. This transition allowed them to reduce their data center deployment process from 30 days to under eight hours, achieving platform agnosticism and enabling developers to focus on more innovative tasks.
