Case Study: UWM achieves deployment times in minutes with Harness

UWM Deploys in Minutes Instead of Hours

UWM, a fast-growing mortgage lender, wanted to move from legacy monolithic applications to containers and Kubernetes so it could deliver new features faster with less downtime risk. The DevOps team faced the challenge of building a scalable, repeatable deployment process, and they considered creating custom Jenkins pipelines before choosing Harness, using its Continuous Delivery and GitOps capabilities.

With Harness, UWM set up its integrations in about a day and enabled self-service Kubernetes deployments that take only a couple of minutes instead of hours. Harness also helped automate environment and microservice setup, reducing platform configuration from 2–3 hours per request to instant provisioning, improving developer productivity and making UWM’s deployment process scalable.
