Same work, two-thirds less of it

Here is what a release week looks like on either side of the switch.

Without Acme

  • Config lives in three places and drifts apart
  • Every environment needs a hand-written script
  • Nobody can say who changed the staging key
  • Rollbacks mean a call with the one person who knows
  • Onboarding an engineer takes most of a week

With Acme

  • One file describes every environment
  • Preview environments open with the pull request
  • Every change is attributed and reversible
  • Rollback is one command, from anyone on call
  • New engineers deploy on day one
Median setup time across 1,200 teams: 9 minutes
