Case Study: Zoopla achieves 700% faster deployments with GitLab

How Zoopla deploys 700% faster with GitLab

Zoopla, the UK’s leading property destination, needed to simplify a complex development workflow built around Jenkins and Groovy. The team lacked visibility across source control and pipelines and wanted an all-in-one platform to improve collaboration, reporting, and deployment management. Zoopla adopted GitLab Self-Managed Premium to bring version control, CI/CD, and developer workflows into a single system.

With GitLab, Zoopla streamlined delivery, improved measurement through DORA metrics, and gained stronger API and AWS integration. Deployments for key public websites increased from once per week to once per day, lead time dropped from five business days to under two hours, and the RFC process shrank from a weekly workflow to about 45 minutes. Zoopla also saw change failure rate trend from 40% toward 0%, while GitLab helped teams standardize pipelines and reduce manual effort.
