Case Study: Steelcase achieves a test cycle reduction from three days to three hours with Codefresh

How Steelcase Changed Everything By Adopting Docker And Codefresh

Steelcase, a global furniture manufacturer that integrates IoT into products and builds web services, integration apps, and embedded devices, was plagued by version and configuration variance across developers’ machines (Windows, OS X, Linux), causing bugs during code review, staging, and production. After containerizing services and databases with Docker and TeamCity to standardize environments, the team needed a CI/CD solution that could keep up with the new speed and complexity — and they turned to Codefresh.

Steelcase migrated their entire build and test pipeline into Codefresh, which runs tests on every commit and spins up dedicated, per-feature containerized environments that QA and design can access for previews. Using Codefresh eliminated the staging bottleneck, enabled branch-level testing before merges, and cut their test cycle from three days to three hours, significantly improving developer productivity and reducing release risk.
