Case Study: Kiwi.com achieves fast, fully automated CI/CD and a unified source of truth with GitLab

How Kiwi.com transformed its workflow with GitLab and Docker

Kiwi.com, the Brno‑based online travel‑tech "Virtual Global Supercarrier," faced slow, manual releases, inconsistent deployment practices, and fragmented source history across teams. To unify workflows and add container support, Kiwi.com chose GitLab (GitLab Self‑Managed Ultimate) to provide a single source of truth and integrated CI/CD with Docker, Kubernetes and Terraform.

GitLab delivered an integrated CI/CD platform that enabled company‑wide container adoption and infrastructure‑as‑code, automating builds, tests and deployments. As a result Kiwi.com now averages 4,000 commits per day, 1,500 deployments per month, 47,000 tests per month and 5,000 MRs per month, with about 10,000 builds monthly, 10‑minute deploys and 100% adoption—improving deployment speed, code quality and operational efficiency.
