Contentstack Runs Environment Provisioning with GitLab
Contentstack, an information technology organization in the United States, uses GitLab Registry from GitLab to support environment provisioning for platform engineers.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Infrastructure as code can be reviewed without waiting on a personal export |
| Capability | Named workflow replaces ad hoc routing for infrastructure as code |
| Capability | Environment provisioning stays visible to adjacent teams through GitLab Registry |
Story
Contentstack grew infrastructure as code faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, information technology teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Platform engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out GitLab Registry put environment provisioning on GitLab. GitLab is a DevSecOps platform that combines source control, CI/CD, security scanning, and planning in one application. Contentstack keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so platform engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier environment provisioning. Infrastructure as code is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join platform engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
