Case Study: E*TRADE achieves 1,200% faster test and deploy cycles with CloudBees CD

E*TRADE Speeds Up Test and Deploy Cycles By 1,200 Using CloudBees CD

E*TRADE, a major financial services firm, faced the classic FinServ challenges: extreme regulation, legacy systems, high risk tolerance, and the need to deliver software across web, mobile, trading, and settlement systems. Manuel Edwards’ teams manage release operations that ship more than 1,400 RPMs weekly and maintain over 2,000 QA hosts, while also supporting audit and regulatory requirements—creating pressure to speed up build, test, and deployment without increasing risk.

By standardizing on CloudBees CD as their Application Release Automation solution and applying repeatable deployment patterns, E*TRADE accelerated their build/test/deploy cycles by 1,200% (12× faster delivery). The result was dramatically faster releases alongside stronger audit safeguards, improved operational efficiency, and reduced deployment risk for their complex FinServ environment.
