Case Study: Indeed achieves rapid scaling and configuration consistency with Puppet

Indeed - Customer Case Study

Indeed, the job site Indeed faced the classic operations challenge of scaling a complex, multi-datacenter infrastructure while keeping configuration consistent across testing, integration, staging and production. They needed a way to provision new servers and manage many components (httpd, Java/Tomcat, log4j, MongoDB and OS configuration) as the environment grew from a handful of machines to hundreds.

Indeed adopted Puppet to standardize and enforce configuration and provisioning, using it across all environments to automate service and OS management. The result: they scaled rapidly with confidence—Puppet enabled consistent deployments across datacenters and hundreds of servers—and the market reflects strong demand for Puppet skills (Indeed shows over 1,160 jobs mentioning Puppet), underscoring the value of training and expertise.
