Case Study: VividCortex achieves faster, cheaper testing and rapid, confident releases with CircleCI

Vividcortex Automates Fast and Confidently with Circleci

VividCortex is a database-monitoring company that captures high‑granularity performance metrics and must ship fast, correct code to protect customers’ production databases. With a 15–20+ developer team using PHP/JavaScript and deploying to AWS, their prior Jenkins‑based and manual testing workflows were slow, fragile, poorly integrated with GitHub, and cost them productivity — slowing iterations, increasing batch sizes, and risking untested code reaching customers.

Switching to CircleCI (in 2013) delivered fast, simple setup and fully automated CI in minutes, with much faster test runs and lower cost. The team saw measurable productivity gains (confidently more than 5%), much quicker feedback on pull requests, fewer shipped bugs to customer servers, faster feature turnaround (hours or days), and improved competitiveness in winning deals.
