Case Study: Magnolia cuts customer onboarding from a week to a day with Spacelift

Magnolia cuts customer onboarding from a week to a day with Spacelift

Magnolia, a leading composable digital experience platform, faced a challenge managing its growing infrastructure as it expanded into a managed platform-as-a-service offering. Its manual GitLab Terraform pipelines were slow and tedious, requiring four to five engineers and up to a week to onboard a new customer. The platform team needed a better way to manage hundreds of customer Kubernetes clusters across multiple cloud providers.

Spacelift provided a cloud-agnostic provisioning framework using its Blueprints product, along with drift detection and automated runs. This allowed a single DevOps engineer to handle a full customer onboarding in a day instead of a week. The solution also enabled Magnolia to confidently push changes and perform critical rollouts across hundreds of clusters, cutting incident response times from a week to just hours.
