Case Study: Morningstar achieves 75% faster builds and 70% reduced development time with CloudBees Platform

Morningstar Powers Market Momentum with CloudBees Platform

Morningstar, a global leader in independent investment research, relied on software to deliver data and services to investors and institutions but faced slow, inconsistent development and release processes as it moved to the cloud. Teams used different build and deployment patterns, causing long build times, deployment errors, poor visibility into metrics, and delayed time-to-market — hindering innovation and developer productivity.

Morningstar adopted the CloudBees Platform to standardize CI/CD pipelines, automate branching and deployments (integrating with Bitbucket and AWS), and provide self-service templates and quality gates. The change cut build times from two hours to 30 minutes (75% faster), reduced overall build and development time by about 70%, shrank onboarding from days to three minutes, and delivered faster, more reliable releases, better compliance controls, and higher developer satisfaction.
