Case Study: Placester achieves faster, more reliable CI/CD and cost & time savings with CloudBees CodeShip

Why Placester Adopted CodeShip’s Continuous Integration Platform

Placester is an all‑in‑one digital marketing platform for real estate professionals with about 150 employees and a 30‑person engineering team split between Boston and Chicago. Faced with a heterogeneous tech stack (Node.js, PHP, Go, Python on AWS) and an unreliable, maintenance‑heavy Jenkins setup, Placester needed a hosted, customizable CI/CD solution that reduced ops overhead and improved release reliability.

Placester adopted CodeShip (Basic and Pro), enabling engineers to run local builds and containerized, isolated test environments that catch issues before production. The team was up and running in a day, tightened quality controls to prevent breaking changes, shifted CI responsibility to engineers, and achieved faster, more reliable releases with significant time and cost savings—accelerating development by orders of magnitude.
