Case Study: Expedia achieves 50% increase in release velocity and self-service deployments with XebiaLabs

Expedia Gives Developers Self-service Deployments with XebiaLabs

Expedia, a leading online travel company, needed faster, more reliable software releases across roughly 1,000 machines. Their operations team was spending excessive time on manual deployments, dependency management and script maintenance (Chef), and wanted to give 220 developers self-service deployment capabilities while enforcing consistent, scalable processes.

By adopting the XebiaLabs DevOps Platform (XL Deploy), Expedia automated deployments, managed dependencies and enabled self‑scheduled, agentless self‑service deployments integrated with existing tools. The result: release velocity rose 20% in month one, 33% in month two and ultimately 50%; they now run over 2,500 deployments per month, have standardized pipelines with granular permissions and controls, and Operations is freed from deployment duties.
