Case Study: Zillow achieves 8x faster Salesforce deployments with Gearset

Gearset helped Zillow cut 8 hours off their deployment process

Zillow, the online real estate marketplace, relied heavily on Salesforce but was struggling with slow, complex deployments as its team and org grew. Using change sets and ad hoc diff tools made releases difficult to track, led to collaboration issues, and stretched deployment times to 9–12 hours.

Gearset helped Zillow modernize its Salesforce release process by connecting with GitLab, improving visibility into metadata changes, enabling easy rollbacks, and streamlining deployment and post-deployment work. With Gearset, Zillow cut deployment time by 8 hours, achieved an average deployment time of about one hour, and was able to deploy multiple times per day—making release management much easier for the team.
