What happened

Ulta Beauty uses Harness Continuous Delivery & GitOps to run its CI/CD pipelines, with Helm charts, reusable variables and Jira integration, while moving its ecommerce platform from an on-premise data center to Google Cloud. Developers can spin up environments on their own, and the use has since expanded to additional projects across multiple teams.

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

  • 15,000“Now, it’s well over 5,000 per month with over 15,000 instances deployed at any given time.”
  • seven more projects“Ulta Beauty has now expanded Harness to CD processes beyond just its digital store of the future to seven more projects across multiple teams.”

Faster, more streamlined processes with Harness have also drastically increased the total volume of deployments. When developers used to rely on local sandbox environments before Harness, Alderson estimated Ulta Beauty would deploy only about 100 environments per month.
