Case Study: GIPHY achieves sub-10-minute commit-to-deploy velocity with Codefresh

How GIPHY migrated their teams and services to Kubernetes, Microservices, and Continuous Delivery with Codefresh

Giphy was shifting its architecture to microservices on Kubernetes and needed a CI/CD solution that could keep up. Retrofitting Travis CI proved “janky” and lacked the built-in steps and Kubernetes integration the team required, so they turned to Codefresh — using Codefresh’s CI/CD platform with built-in Docker, image management, and Kubernetes tooling to simplify onboarding and deployments.

Codefresh enabled Giphy to automate Docker builds, run tests, and push changes into Q/A environments with a single workflow; Anthony Johnson onboarded services in about 30 minutes and the team trained 50+ engineers in a single kickoff where everyone successfully built and pushed to Kubernetes on AWS. The result: developers can commit and have changes live in under 10 minutes, junior engineers can deploy easily, and Codefresh delivered greater visibility and faster, more reliable deployments across Giphy’s microservices.
