Case Study: Squarespace achieves faster deployments and greater resilience with Kubernetes from CNCF

Squarespace Gaining productivity and resilience with Kubernetes

Squarespace, a website creation platform, faced significant infrastructure challenges after adopting a microservices architecture. While this solved development problems, it created a new bottleneck for their infrastructure team, as deploying services across their 5,000 VM hosts was a slow process that hindered productivity and velocity.

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation's Kubernetes provided the solution. By implementing Kubernetes in their private data centers, Squarespace streamlined its deployment process, reducing it by 85% to just five minutes. This resulted in a massive boost in productivity, a doubling of active microservices, and improved system resilience with automatic rescheduling of failed nodes.
