Case Study: Capital One achieves 1,300% increase in deployment frequency and 90% pipeline automation with CloudBees Jenkins Platform

Capital One Invests in Continuous Delivery to Automate Software Development Pipelines

Capital One, a top U.S. bank known for using technology to deliver tailored financial products, faced the challenge of accelerating delivery of business applications while preserving strict quality, security and scalability requirements across thousands of developers. The company needed a stable, flexible CI/CD platform that would enable developer autonomy without compromising compliance or operational consistency.

Capital One’s shared CD tools team standardized on the CloudBees Jenkins Platform, implementing RBAC, decoupled masters and agents on AWS, consistent worker environments, and automated multibranch pipelines from commit to deploy. The result: 90% of the pipeline automated, a 1,300% increase in deployment frequency, engineers focused on building applications rather than infrastructure, and improved quality and security through repeatable processes.
