Case Study: Privacy Dynamics accelerates development and improves developer experience with Okteto

Okteto Helped Privacy Dynamics Shift Left to Accelerate Velocity and Improve Dev Experience

Privacy Dynamics, a Seattle-based startup that helps companies ethically access sensitive consumer, healthcare, and financial data, struggled with an inefficient homegrown development and preview environment. The custom setup required too much engineering effort to maintain, slowed testing and collaboration, and created a poor developer experience. Okteto’s cloud development platform and preview environments were used to address these challenges.

With Okteto, Privacy Dynamics automatically created shareable preview environments for every pull request, enabling faster testing, earlier customer feedback, and better cross-functional visibility. The company accelerated development production by 17% and freed up 50% of a developer’s time previously spent on manual maintenance tasks, while also improving collaboration and reducing the need for engineers to manage Kubernetes complexity.
