How Wag! cut their release process from 40 minutes to just 6

Wag!, a popular dog-walking service operating across the U.S., recently enhanced its operational efficiency by fully integrating GitLab into its development and deployment processes. Initially using GitLab for continuous integration, Wag! expanded its usage to encompass the entire CI/CD pipeline, including both application and infrastructure management, with Terraform aiding in infrastructure tasks. This transition allowed Wag! to streamline its operations, moving from a fragmented system to a single, cohesive platform, thus significantly reducing release times from an hour to just six minutes. The integration has simplified deployment, minimized stress associated with production releases, and incorporated automated security scanning and license management, which are vital for maintaining robust security protocols. As part of its strategic roadmap, Wag! is transitioning its repositories from GitHub to GitLab and planning a shift from Amazon ECS to Kubernetes, embracing DevOps to enhance collaboration between development and operations teams. The company has praised GitLab's monthly feature releases, which align well with its growing needs, allowing for continuous improvement and adaptability.
