Case Study: Datasaur scales faster with Release's Kubernetes and environment automation

Datasaur moves to Kubernetes in days with Release

Datasaur, a company that simplifies data labeling for machine learning solutions, faced significant challenges managing its complex application infrastructure. With a small engineering team and no dedicated DevOps resources, their VP of Engineering was overburdened with manual deployments and keeping systems running, especially as the company experienced rapid growth. They needed a solution to easily create and manage pre-production staging environments and later required help scaling their production infrastructure to prevent outages. They turned to Release for an Environments as a Service solution.

Release provided Datasaur with a platform that automatically created staging environments from their mainline branch and ephemeral environments for every pull request. This eliminated the need for Datasaur to build their own CI/CD automation. Furthermore, Release seamlessly migrated Datasaur's production environment to Kubernetes, resolving a critical outage and enabling them to scale effectively. The results were transformative: Datasaur achieved a 4x growth in their business without having to hire a full DevOps team, saving them years of development time and significant resources while allowing them to focus on their core product.
