Key results:
- Developers now deploy containerized apps quickly via GUI, with no YAML expertise required
- Deployment velocity increased substantially, enabling production-ready services to roll out fast
- The team expects to scale from initial apps to hundreds of containerized workloads in the coming months
- With reduced operational friction and strong documentation support, they’re building confidence and resilience in managing on-prem Kubernetes
This transformation empowered the retailer’s IT team to embrace containerization confidently, without heavy training or cost, laying a strong foundation for strategic scalability and operational efficiency.
"We picked Portainer over OpenShift because it was really easy to set up and use. It contains all the features we need and few that we don’t. The GUI is intuitive and the team has found it easy to integrate into their workflows. Compared to other products in the market, Portainer represents great value for money, particularly given the quality of support we’ve received.”
"With Portainer, deployment time has decreased significantly. It takes very little time for developers to publish the apps into our production environment using the GUI. We plan to move to an automated GitOps-based deployment model in due course, which is another reason for selecting Portainer as it has a GitOps engine already integrated into the platform”.
