Case Study: Stackable cuts test costs and speeds application testing with Replicated’s Compatibility Matrix

Stackable halves test run times and cuts cluster spend to ~$100/month with Replicated

Stackable, a data management company, faced significant challenges in testing their Kubernetes-native platform across various distributions like OpenShift, AWS, and GKE. Their homegrown testing solution was financially burdensome, costing up to $7,000 monthly, and difficult to maintain against constant changes in Kubernetes distributions. To ensure smooth installations for their on-premises customers, they needed a better way to test compatibility and turned to Replicated's Compatibility Matrix.

By implementing Replicated's Compatibility Matrix, Stackable gained the ability to quickly provision customer-representative test environments. The solution cut their test run times in half, from 40 minutes to 20, and dramatically reduced their monthly testing costs from thousands of dollars to approximately $100. Replicated enabled Stackable to easily test against more distributions, including the notoriously difficult OpenShift, increasing confidence in successful customer installations while saving time and money.
