Case Study: Nubank achieves faster deployments and 30% cost efficiency with Kubernetes from CNCF

How Kubernetes empowered Nubank engineers to deploy 700 times a week

Nubank, a major Brazilian fintech, faced significant deployment and scalability challenges as it grew to 23 million customers. Their immutable infrastructure made deployments slow and painful, hindering the rapidly expanding engineering team. To address this, they turned to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation's Kubernetes to orchestrate their Docker container environment.

By implementing a cloud native platform built on Kubernetes, along with supporting CNCF projects like Prometheus and Fluentd, Nubank empowered its developers. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation's technology enabled a remarkable improvement: deployment times dropped from 90 minutes to just 15 minutes. This resulted in engineers deploying 700 times per week and achieved a 30% increase in cost efficiency for the company.
