Case Study: Xceptor accelerates Kubernetes self-service and deployment with Port

How Xceptor is visualizing Kubernetes and Argo CD with Port

Xceptor, a data automation software provider, faced significant challenges in managing its shift to cloud-native technologies. The company struggled with the complexity of Kubernetes and Argo CD, limited visibility into software operations, and inefficient, slow deployment processes for its self-hosted and hosted customers. This hindered their ability to deliver new product value quickly. After a failed attempt with another open-source portal, they turned to the vendor Port for its internal developer portal solution.

By implementing Port, Xceptor gained a unified platform that abstracted away infrastructure complexity, provided a catalog for visualizing ownership and dependencies, and enabled self-service actions for engineers. The solution from Port delivered substantial results, including slashing the time to create a new tenant from one day to just minutes and increasing the average customer deployment frequency 24 times. Port also helped Xceptor achieve an estimated 46% decrease in running costs per tenant, empowering their engineers and streamlining operations.
