Case Study: icitizen achieves reliable Kubernetes operations and faster deployments with Fairwinds Managed Kubernetes

Fairwinds Helps icitizen Gain Kubernetes Confidence

icitizen, an award-winning civic engagement platform, was facing critical deployment problems and overwhelming operational challenges with its Kubernetes infrastructure on Google Container Engine. This was due to staff attrition that left the remaining team struggling to maintain stability. icitizen turned to Fairwinds and its Managed Kubernetes service for immediate assistance and expertise.

Fairwinds provided a people-led service to triage, assess, and prioritize problems, acting as an extension of the icitizen team. The solution gave icitizen 24/7 coverage and support, reduced technical debt, and simplified its complex pipeline into a more stable and manageable environment. The results included reliable deployments, a significant reduction in operational costs compared to the former in-house team, and faster product delivery for the customer.
