Ancestry Digging into the past with new technology

Ancestry, a genealogy company with a massive online platform, faced challenges with a cumbersome and time-consuming deployment process across its hundreds of legacy services. To accelerate development and become more agile, they partnered with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and adopted cloud native technologies, including Kubernetes.

The solution implemented by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), using Kubernetes for orchestration and Docker for containerization, dramatically improved deployment speeds. This resulted in deployment times being reduced from up to 50 minutes to under a minute for many services, providing significant time savings and increased productivity for Ancestry's engineering teams.
