What happened

SheerID uses Harness to automate its continuous deployment pipelines, replacing multiple Jenkins instances. It relies on automated testing as a quality gate, canary releases with continuous verification, and visibility into deployment logs, metrics and latency.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Harness and SheerID, not ours.

  • 35-40 hours per week“Cut deployment effort by 35-40 hours per week”
  • seven production releases a day“With Harness, we’ve been averaging seven production releases a day this year.”

By using Harness to automate deployments and eliminate most of the Jenkins burden from developers, SheerID has drastically reduced deployment times while also drastically increasing deployment frequency by 35X.

From the page. harness.io

Harness took us from once a week deployment to continuous deployment, where we are going to production multiple times a day using a fully automated process. With Harness, we’ve been averaging seven production releases a day this year.
