Case Study: CloudZero achieves faster, more secure production readiness with GitHub

With GitHub, CloudZero is always five minutes away from production

CloudZero, a cloud cost intelligence company, needed to reduce developer friction while scaling quickly and staying “five minutes away from production.” As the team grew, it wanted to replace disparate tooling and give engineers a simpler way to manage code, automation, security, and deployments. CloudZero built its workflow on GitHub, using GitHub for Startups along with GitHub Actions, GitHub Copilot, and GitHub Advanced Security.

GitHub helped CloudZero consolidate its CI/CD pipeline and automate work across engineering and customer success, creating a single pane of glass for code review, governance, and deployment. The results included faster development, stronger security through secret scanning, Dependabot, CodeQL, and push protection, and quicker onboarding for new hires as the company expanded from 6 to 24 developers in a year. CloudZero says GitHub Copilot significantly improved productivity and reduced the time from idea to implementation.
