Case Study: SheerID achieves 35x faster deployments with Harness

SheerID Accelerates Deployments by 35X, Eliminates Burden On Developers by Using Harness

SheerID, a software security company serving B2C brands in retail, media, telco, travel, and other industries, was struggling with slow, manual deployments. Even after moving to Kubernetes and Jenkins, its release process remained complex and time-consuming, limiting the team’s ability to move quickly and support a multi-cloud strategy. Harness helped address these deployment bottlenecks.

With Harness, SheerID implemented automated pipelines, canary releases, continuous verification, and better visibility into logs and metrics, enabling a shift to continuous deployment. The results were significant: deployment frequency increased 35x, from one release per week to about seven per day, and deployment effort was reduced by 35-40 hours per week. Harness also improved developer productivity and release confidence while freeing teams to focus more on innovation.
