Case Study: WebMD Health Services achieves automated, compliant microservices deployments with Inedo BuildMaster

WebMD Health Services automates 100+ microservices with Inedo

WebMD Health Services, a healthcare company, faced significant challenges after transitioning to microservices without proper automation. Their development teams created disparate build and deployment processes, which became too complex to maintain and lacked automated installation scripts. This created a huge problem for a new dedicated DevOps team, which also needed to ensure all deployments maintained HITRUST certification to comply with HIPAA regulations for handling sensitive health data. They turned to the vendor Inedo for a solution.

Inedo's BuildMaster provided the solution with its server agents, light memory footprint, and API automation functionality. It enabled WebMD to automate installation scripts and deployment pipelines for over 100 microservices. The results included full developer visibility into deployments, faster lead times, and the maintenance of HITRUST certification through built-in permissions and approvals. Inedo's tool allowed the company to move from infrequent, manual half-day release processes to fully automated deployments.
