Before Control Plane, the company dealt with disconnected systems, manual processes, and fragmented workflows. These issues led to inconsistent data flows, increased errors, and higher operational costs. As the business scaled, the lack of real-time visibility and system integration made it difficult to move quickly and deliver value.
Coordinating Disconnected Systems
Workflows across environments weren’t fully aligned, which made coordination more complex and limited visibility across teams.
Room to Optimize Resource Usage
The team saw opportunities to improve how compute resources were allocated, especially to reduce unnecessary overhead as the system scaled.
Improving Development Velocity
Provisioning new environments took time, which occasionally created delays in testing and deploying new features.
“As our systems matured, we needed a more cohesive way to manage workflows and scale infrastructure, without introducing more overhead.”
Streamlined DevOps with Scalable Infrastructure
Control Plane provided an integrated platform that allowed the team to rapidly spin up development and testing environments. This enabled faster feature testing, shorter release cycles, and greater agility overall.
Smart Resource Allocation = Real Cost Savings
With intelligent resource usage baked into the platform, the team optimized container utilization and cut unnecessary cloud costs. These savings were redirected toward high-impact business areas.
Exceptional Support and Transparency
Direct Slack access to Control Plane’s technical team ensured rapid problem-solving and collaborative integration. The team appreciated Control Plane’s honest guidance and dedication to tailoring the platform to their unique needs.
“One of the things we’ve valued most is the honesty from Control Plane. When something wasn’t ready, they said so. That level of integrity is rare.”
By switching to Control Plane, the company reduced costs, eliminated infrastructure bottlenecks, and gained a trusted partner in scaling their engineering team’s capabilities.
