Case Study: Q2 reduces downtime and speeds deployment with HashiCorp Nomad

Financial Experience Company Uses Hashicorp Nomad’s Workload Orchestration To Accellerate Service Discovery While Reducing Downtime

Q2, a financial experience company serving banks, credit unions, fintechs, and other financial institutions, needed a better way to manage rapidly growing infrastructure demands across cloud and on-premises environments. Its manual provisioning and orchestration processes were slow, error-prone, and made it difficult to keep services highly available while supporting frequent application updates and modernizing workloads.

To solve this, Q2 implemented HashiCorp Nomad for workload orchestration, with native integration to HashiCorp Consul for health checks and self-healing capabilities. The result was faster environment builds from weeks to minutes, dozens of hours saved each week, a projected 2x increase in upgrade velocity, and a 65% reduction in unplanned downtime over three years, helping Q2 scale more reliably across Linux and Windows workloads.
