To overcome these challenges, the company adopted Portainer as a centralized platform for managing its Kubernetes-based environments. Portainer provided a secure, consistent, and easy-to-use interface that gave developers self-service access while allowing platform teams to enforce governance, security, and operational best practices. With Portainer, the company was able to standardize application delivery pipelines across multiple teams and geographies, accelerate development cycles, and ensure compliance with strict data handling regulations. The platform’s intuitive UI and role-based access controls helped bridge the gap between development and operations—empowering teams to move faster without compromising control or visibility.

“Life prior to Portainer, I was doing all of the triage “unblocking” of our software engineers. Now, if an engineer tries something out and it doesn’t work on Portainer, he can’t push it out. Portainer forces our developers to unblock and be self-organized. This means all eight of us can triage a problem – not just me.”

"We are better able to scale because Portainer has secure push-button to deploy capability streamlining version control and maintenance. And tomorrow when the new application is running live in every OR; we can remotely monitor our software because Portainer goes from green to red on the dashboard. This might sound simple and inconsequential but it’s not. We’ll know immediately if an OR isn’t able to run our application and we can immediately respond before a doctor arrives to perform surgery.”
