Company Z, a financial technology company specializing in personal loans and credit products, managed to streamline its development processes by adopting Gitpod's cloud development environment (CDE) through Ona, leveraging AWS infrastructure. This transition was driven by challenges such as technology sprawl and operating system disparities, which hindered developer productivity and onboarding. The standardization facilitated by Gitpod allowed for quicker onboarding and reduced environment drift, enabling developers to work fluidly across various tech stacks and operating systems, thus supporting the company's rapid growth and diversified product strategy. By using a CloudFormation template, Company Z efficiently deployed Ona's architecture, including VPCs, EKS clusters, and RDS databases, within a day, eliminating operational overhead and ensuring a seamless setup of standardized development environments. This approach not only improved business agility but also mitigated risks associated with knowledge silos and hardware compatibility issues.
