Case Study: CARFAX achieves 96% faster build setup and 3X faster pipeline creation with CloudBees Core

CARFAX Reduces Risk and Improves Automation with CI, CD and CloudBees Core

CARFAX, the global provider of vehicle history reports that aggregates billions of records, needed to replace a decade-old monolithic billing and finance system to handle growth from millions to hundreds of millions of monthly transactions. With a hard deadline, limited headcount, manual Ant/Gradle build processes, multiple Jenkins instances to maintain, and auditors requiring stronger controls, the team had to modernize quickly without adding resources.

CARFAX partnered with CloudBees (CloudBees Core and Professional Services) to adopt Jenkins Pipeline and a pipeline-as-code approach, integrate with AWS, centralize Jenkins operations, and vet plugins for stability. The result: build setup times fell 96% (from one day to ~15 minutes), pipelines were created 3× faster, manual processes were automated, ramp-up time shrank, and the new billing system was delivered on schedule with improved auditability and scalable CI/CD.
