Case Study: Ally Financial cuts pipeline outages and streamlines security scanning with GitLab

Ally Financial cuts pipeline outages and eases security scanning with GitLab

Ally Financial, the largest U.S. digital-only bank, needed to deliver secure online banking experiences but was slowed by a fragmented DevOps toolchain that caused pipeline defects and frequent outages. The company turned to GitLab Ultimate to simplify its development workflow and improve reliability across engineering teams.

GitLab helped Ally Financial migrate most applications to its end-to-end DevSecOps platform, reducing toolchain complexity and making security scanning more efficient. The results were significant: pipeline outages dropped from 20 per year to 2, deployment time improved by an average of 50%, and Ally estimates it is saving about $300,000 annually in reduced downtime and tool costs.
