Case Study: Pivale achieves reduced DevOps overhead and faster deployments with Platform.sh

Pivale reduces DevOps, re-energizes focus on client problem-solving

Pivale, a UK-based Drupal web and application agency serving brands like Sony, Virgin and Peugeot, struggled with messy, error-prone deployments because each client used different infrastructure (dedicated servers, VPS, cloud). To create long-term consistency and free their small team from heavy DevOps work, Pivale chose Platform.sh’s Drupal-focused PaaS to standardize and simplify their workflows.

Platform.sh consolidated Pivale’s dev and production environments into a single, git-driven platform (with built-in services like Apache Solr, Redis and image compression), delivering consistent, secure deployments and predictable monthly costs. Pivale reports faster time-to-value, reduced DevOps overhead and measurable gains—calling out results such as 80% and improvements shown as 3x, 5x and 60x—enabling the team to focus on client problem‑solving rather than hosting headaches.
