Case Study: PlayQ achieves 4x faster Kubernetes upgrades with Harness IaCM

PlayQ Accelerates Infrastructure Delivery with Harness IaCM and OpenTofu | Harness Case Study

PlayQ, a mobile gaming company, faced scaling challenges with their open-source Terraform setup, which created operational friction for their lean engineering team. They needed a more flexible, cost-effective, and secure Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solution to manage their Kubernetes clusters and enable faster delivery. They selected Harness Infrastructure as Code Management (IaCM) to modernize their approach.

By implementing Harness IaCM, PlayQ adopted a GitOps-driven workflow that provided pipeline flexibility and secure secrets management. The results were significant, including Kubernetes cluster upgrades that became four times faster and the achievement of 100% self-service infrastructure. The vendor Harness enabled a smooth migration, with 80% of their infrastructure successfully moved to OpenTofu, which improved developer focus and operational efficiency.
