CASE STUDY
“ We have seen 75 % efficiency gains with Harness ,” said Devarapalli . “ Running pipelines in parallel gives us scalability , too . We can generate 10 pipelines in 50 seconds . That used to take days or even weeks if we had a junior DevOps engineer working on it . Harness has been instrumental in helping us work toward our goal of migrating 80 % of our workloads to the cloud , increasing operation efficiency that matches United Next objectives and reducing on-premises costs . We ’ re also giving time back to developers because they no longer have to babysit deployments . They can just go to the Harness dashboard to view the status of every deployment .”
United also uses Harness to make sure that deployments are compliant with security and governance policies . It lets developers work faster and deliver more functionality without the risk or friction of manual compliance processes .
“ There ’ s usually a lot of conflict between automation and compliance , especially as policies are updated ,” said Koppala . “ Harness gives us templated governance to enforce organizational standards without developers even realizing a policy has changed . The impact on developers is almost zero .”
The combination of speed , compliance and scale has given United ’ s DevOps team the time to focus on optimizing processes and working toward their Digital Transformation efforts .
“ With Harness , it ’ s the democratization , the governance , the speed – it ’ s all been a huge gain for United ,” said Devarapalli . “ We ’ re way more efficient than we were a couple years back . The Harness platform is allowing us to do our part as the DevOps team so United can reach our United Next goals .” p

OF BEST PRACTICES RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX WITH REUSABLE TEMPLATES SO DEVELOPERS DON ’ T

NEED TO PERFORM
