Case Study: Salesforce accelerates DevOps and boosts security with CloudBees CI

Salesforce cuts Jenkins upgrade time from 3 weeks to 2 hours with CloudBees CI

Salesforce, a global CRM leader, faced the challenge of migrating its on-premise app development to the cloud to increase developer efficiency, improve security, and accelerate innovation for its Force.com platform. Their aging datacenter infrastructure was difficult to scale and maintain, creating a significant overhead for their DevOps team. To address this, they partnered with vendor CloudBees and utilized their product, CloudBees CI.

The solution involved moving software development to CloudBees CI on Amazon EKS. This migration successfully increased developer productivity, improved scalability, and introduced innovative technologies like Kubernetes. The measurable results included eliminating the maintenance of 35-40 static agents for major cost savings and reducing platform upgrade time from three weeks with four people to just a few hours with one person. CloudBees enabled Salesforce to provide a more reliable and secure platform for its thousands of developers.
