Case Study: CEPSA achieves developer autonomy and 143x more deployments with CloudBees

Embracing Developer Autonomy and Building a DevOps Culture with CloudBees

Cepsa, a Madrid‑based multinational in oil and gas, faced slow, manual cloud deployments, siloed teams and a lack of developer autonomy as it moved production workloads to the cloud. Their existing CI/CD was unpredictable—even simple deployments could take a week or more and relied on “super expert” teams, creating QA bottlenecks and operational risk.

Cepsa adopted CloudBees CI, standardized Jenkins-as-code pipelines and embedded senior solutions architects into production teams to train developers and streamline workflows. The result: over 50 managed controllers, a jump from ~7 to 1,000 deployments per month (143× improvement), biweekly release cadence, greater visibility and autonomy for developers, and a more mature, scalable DevOps culture.
