Case Study: Avalara achieves 11x deployment frequency with Uplevel

Avalara improves deployment frequency by 1,100% with Uplevel

Avalara, a company serving tens of thousands of tax compliance customers globally, faced the challenge of modernizing its infrastructure while maintaining high reliability. They needed comprehensive data to guide their decision to consolidate their toolchain onto the GitLab DevSecOps platform and quantify the investment's return before implementation. Uplevel was used to establish baseline performance metrics and identify optimization opportunities.

Using Uplevel, Avalara established a continuous feedback loop to measure the impact of their migration to GitLab. The solution delivered transformational results, including an 1,100% improvement in deployment frequency and a reduction in merge request cycle time from four weeks to just three hours. Uplevel's data confirmed that these dramatic productivity gains were achieved while maintaining quality and reliability, enabling Avalara to justify the infrastructure investment and build momentum for broader organizational adoption.
