Case Study: Capital One achieves 99% faster infrastructure provisioning with Amazon Web Services (AWS)

On-Demand Infrastructure on AWS Helps Capital One DevOps Teams Move Faster Than Ever

Capital One reinvented itself as a digital technology company to improve customer banking experiences, but needed faster ways to turn customer feedback into products while building a strong developer culture. The challenge was to enable autonomous, collaborative teams to move quickly from idea to production without slow infrastructure provisioning or handoffs between development and operations.

Capital One adopted a cloud‑first, DevOps approach on AWS—using services like VPC, EC2, S3, and RDS along with automation, microservices, and continuous integration—to provide on‑demand infrastructure and empower teams. The result: infrastructure build time dropped by more than 99%, teams can begin development almost instantly, features ship in weeks, and cross‑functional collaboration, product ownership, and talent retention have all improved.
