Case Study: Pearson achieves faster delivery and 100% uptime with Kubernetes

Reinventing the World’s Largest Education Company With Kubernetes

Pearson, the global education company, needed a way to support its digital transformation as it scaled. Its legacy infrastructure and fragmented environments made it difficult to manage applications consistently across teams and platforms, slowing delivery and limiting engineering agility.

Pearson chose Kubernetes to standardize its platform and create consistent, repeatable deployment environments with more self-service and automation. With Kubernetes, Pearson improved developer productivity and delivery speed, moving from 1–2 releases per academic year to multiple deployments per day, while also achieving 100% uptime for some critical systems and reducing legacy infrastructure overhead.
