Financial services company, Company Z, has improved its onboarding process and team fluidity by implementing automated development environments using Gitpod. This has allowed the company to standardize environments across varying operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux), reducing environment drift and reproducibility issues. The adoption of Gitpod's "self-hosted, but not self-managed" infrastructure has also eliminated operational overhead for Company Z, which had limited DevOps engineering capacity. By automating development environment setup, the company has been able to improve onboarding speed and eliminate operating system incompatibility issues, enhancing overall business agility.
