Case Study: Springer Nature reduces deployment times from weeks to minutes with Cloud Foundry

Springer Nature reduces deployment time from weeks to minutes with Cloud Foundry

Springer Nature, a major scientific and scholarly publisher formed from a merger, faced the challenge of integrating disparate systems and developer skills while needing to reduce lengthy application deployment times. They turned to the vendor Cloud Foundry and its platform-as-a-service (PaaS) to build a foundation for global application deployment and increase agility.

By implementing Cloud Foundry, Springer Nature achieved a dramatic reduction in deployment time, from weeks down to minutes. This allowed them to push changes to their flagship website, SpringerLink, multiple times a day with improved uptime. The solution empowered developers, fostered alignment between operations and development, and supported the deployment of over 1,200 applications in approximately one year without needing to expand staff resources.
