Case Study: FamilySearch achieves 20-minute-to-30-second builds with Codefresh

How FamilySearch went from 20 minute builds to 30 second builds

FamilySearch, the world’s largest free online genealogy resource, was wrestling with how to “do Docker right”: they had adopted Docker early but were using traditional orchestration and a split cloud architecture that added latency and slow CI builds. Facing painful deployments and 20-minute build times, FamilySearch turned to Codefresh for a Docker-native pipeline and private-network container solution.

Codefresh implemented a Docker-based workflow/pipeline (with Docker-native caching, remote CLI capabilities and AWS integration), helped modernize Dockerfiles, and provided fast onboarding and 24/7 support. As a result, Codefresh cut build times dramatically — FamilySearch went from 20-minute builds to about 30 seconds–1 minute — improving deployment speed and developer productivity.
