Case Study: Chefkoch improves project visibility and deployment speed with GitLab

Chefkoch improved project visibility and deploys 40% faster

Chefkoch, Europe’s largest food platform, needed a way to streamline developer workflows, improve project visibility, and enable controlled deployments. The operations team was relying on a fragmented, largely manual toolchain and lacked versioned deployments, integrated visibility, and smooth support for tools like Kubernetes and JIRA. Chefkoch adopted GitLab Premium to create a more organized, self-managed development environment with better repository management and CI/CD.

With GitLab, Chefkoch gained a single source of truth for repositories, pipelines, and deployment activity, along with integrations for Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, JIRA, and Grafana. GitLab helped the team deploy about 30% faster, improve app development deployment speed by nearly 80%, detect vulnerabilities and bugs 30% earlier, and cut onboarding time from two days to two hours. Chefkoch also reduced maintenance overhead, freeing developers to spend about 20% more time on building code instead of managing tools.
