Case Study: Vuclip reduces deployment time by 83% and saves 2,080 hours with Harness Continuous Delivery-as-a-Service

Vuclip Empowers Developers With Harness

Vuclip, a global OTT and media technology company, was migrating from monolithic Xen on‑premises apps to microservices on GCP/GKE and faced slow, manual CI/CD: two production deployments a week managed by a centralized team, average rolling deployments requiring 4 people for 6 hours (24 man‑hours), manual health checks and 2‑hour rollbacks. After evaluating open‑source and commercial tools, Vuclip selected Harness and its Continuous Delivery‑as‑a‑Service to meet requirements like Kubernetes DaemonSets, HPA, parameter passing, and out‑of‑the‑box New Relic and ELK integration.

Harness implemented an automated, self‑service CD pipeline with continuous verification and auto‑rollback, integrating with GCP, Kubernetes, New Relic and ELK. As a result, Vuclip cut deployment effort by 83% (from 24 to 4 man‑hours), reduced rollbacks from 2 hours to 15 minutes (saving ~420 minutes of downtime per year), saved ~2,080 hours (~$200,000) annually, accelerated cloud migration by 4 months and avoided hiring two engineers — with Harness even detecting a slow critical transaction and rolling back production within 15 minutes.
