Akuity helps Whatnot ship often and focus on reliability

As Whatnot's business grew, ensuring platform stability and reliability became paramount. Their manual deployment processes, including manual release cuts and limited deployment frequency, were no longer scalable. The need to automate deployments and increase release velocity became a strategic imperative for the organization.

To address these challenges, Whatnot embarked on an effort to automate their deployment pipelines and increase release frequency. Initially, Whatnot's deployment process was manual, with releases cut twice daily. They transitioned to automated deployments using Argo CD, improving efficiency and enabling more frequent releases. Akuity's managed Argo CD offering provided enhanced security and premium support directly from the creators of Argo CD, ensuring stability and reliability.
