New Relic, an observability company, has automated its software agent release process for Kubernetes integration through fully automated GitHub Actions workflows, reducing deployment time from two weeks to just over an hour per week. This automation also enables the detection of security vulnerabilities in their codebase, allowing them to patch fixes without human interaction, resulting in a faster response time to security incidents. Additionally, they provide cutting-edge support for the latest version of Kubernetes by fully automating dependency management and conformance testing, ensuring they can update their integrations quickly and efficiently.
