Case Study: Galileo achieves rapid, low-risk feature releases and scalable expansion with Split

Building the Future of Healthcare at Galileo

Galileo is a mobile-first health technology company offering a digital platform for virtual doctor visits and a value-based care delivery model. As they scaled, the team faced challenges safely releasing features and coordinating timing across engineering, product and marketing—complicated further by app-store delays, risky infrastructure migrations (like a new authentication platform) and rapid COVID-driven expansion that created sudden traffic and clinical-capacity risks.

By adopting Split feature flags and dynamic configurations, Galileo decoupled code deploys from user releases, used percentage rollouts for canary migrations, and gained an immediate kill switch and runtime controls. The result: a confident, low-risk migration to a new auth system, faster state-by-state rollouts during COVID, alerts to protect clinical capacity, reduced engineering effort, and meaningful progress toward continuous deployment.
