Case Study: Ullink doubles deployments and achieves zero production failures with XebiaLabs

Ullink Doubles Deployments and Achieves Zero Production Failures with XebiaLabs

Ullink, a global provider of mission‑critical trading technology for top-tier banks and brokers, faced a scaling and reliability problem: manual deployments were error-prone and could cause 1–2 production failures per month, yet the team was already pushing more than 1,000 changes a month and needed to automate safely at scale without disrupting customers who have zero tolerance for downtime.

Ullink adopted the XebiaLabs DevOps Platform (integrating with Jenkins, Git, Ansible, etc.), replacing ad-hoc provisioning workarounds with a GUI-driven, auditable deployment pipeline and fine‑grained access controls. Within six months they doubled automated deployments to over 4,000/month, cut average deploy time from 30 to 10 minutes (max from 5 hours to 25 minutes), eliminated production deployment failures, and freed engineers to focus on validating changes and improving customer experience.
