Summary

Zeotap significantly improved its software deployment process by adopting Harness, which increased deployment frequency by 36 times and reduced rollback time from 4 hours to seconds. This transformation allowed developers to focus on high-priority projects and streamlined the deployment process from requiring a team for 4 hours to just one developer for 30 minutes. Previously, Zeotap's deployment process involved over 400 Jenkins pipelines with a high change failure rate and lacked visibility, limiting deployments to once a month. The switch to Harness enabled multiple daily deployments using standardized pipelines and automated rollbacks, while also helping Zeotap achieve GDPR, ISO27001, and CSA STAR compliance through advanced role-based access control, audit, and reporting capabilities. As a result, Zeotap's developers gained independence in scheduling deployments and reduced the risk and effort associated with software delivery.
