Kingfisher plc, an international home improvement company, has adopted GitLab's end-to-end platform to build a DevSecOps foundation that is revolutionizing its developer experience. The company plans to increase its use of platform features, focusing on security, simplifying its toolchain, and increasing automation. Kingfisher first adopted GitLab in 2016 and moved to a Premium license in 2020. It has also moved from an on-premise to a cloud environment, started using shared GitLab runners and source code management, and began building out a CI/CD library. The company tracks metrics such as deployment frequency, lead time to change, and change failure rates with GitLab, and translates these metrics into data that company leaders can understand. Kingfisher is a data-driven organization and is looking to overlay these metrics to see where it can continue to improve its developer experience. The company's engineering squads, which have about 600 practitioners, are focused on moving security left, reducing its toolchain, and using automation to increase productivity. Kingfisher expects to start "dabbling" with the artificial intelligence capabilities in GitLab Duo in early 2025. The company is focused on ensuring that people come first and is working to understand what its developers need and then finding solutions to fix what's slowing them down. Changing how a team creates and deploys software is a journey, and Kingfisher believes that collaboratively taking developers and security teams on that journey makes a big difference in ease of migration and in easing team members' user experience.
