1. Company Profile

The company is a UK-based startup that has developed a 3D interactive platform designed to stream online video games over the cloud. It delivers gameplay to the largest possible audience, without the need for downloads or modifications to an end user’s computer. It is looking to revolutionize the gaming industry by allowing spectators to interact with the games they are watching.

As a result of needing to create a new, future-facing gaming platform, the company realized it needed to rethink its development and deployment approaches along the lines of Agile and DevOps practices. Positive outcomes include:

  • Significantly increased deployment times
  • Faster delivery from a more agile, collaborative team
  • Greater visibility and happier engineers
