WalkMe is a Digital Adoption Platform that enables companies to show clients how to use their software effectively. With customers ranging from Paypal and Microsoft to Wells Fargo and beyond, WalkMe is effectively a digital coach, training users in how to use an application or adopt new workflows. With WalkMe, companies can onboard clients quickly and empower them to fully use their software’s capabilities.
WalkMe’s core platform team adopted env0 when they were looking to provision a new, consolidated environment from scratch. WalkMe had a tech sprawl problem: with around 400 developers and many teams checking out code locally, the risk of committing code that overwrites or breaks something was high. As the team responsible for the WalkMe product (which launched in 2011), the core platform team presides over a lot of legacy code and infrastructure that isn’t well known or understood within the company. They wanted to manage as much as possible using only code and to align on the same set of standards and models across groups, encouraging code reuse and reducing the risk of code being overwritten.
Now they have a single source of truth in env0. This has enabled them to create configuration sets to speed up the time to create a new environment. They’re also now able to boost code reuse by tagging resources to show ownership and what they’re used for.
With env0 serving as WalkMe’s single source of truth, all developers have access to a secure, centralized, consolidated environment. No need to check out code locally and no risk of overwriting or changing something with unintended consequences.
Previously, WalkMe team members had to start from scratch when configuring a new environment; injecting values in various places or picking and choosing from multiple templates to put together the configuration they needed. Now they can self-serve from templates based on working models when they need to set up a new environment. What used to take days they can now spin up in a matter of minutes.
Remember WalkMe’s technical sprawl? They’ve begun taming it by implementing tagging with env0. With tags, team members can see who owns different parts of the codebase and what the functionality is, making code discovery and reuse easy. This enables teams to align on standards and practices across groups, ensuring consistency and reducing time spent on building functionality from scratch.
As part of their pilot project with env0, the team recreated WalkMe’s entire production environment as a new, fully managed environment in env0 for a federal client in just 3-4 months. This proof of concept is motivation to move the entire company to consolidated environments. Going all in will also enable WalkMe to leverage env0 to merge resources such as load balancers, saving on costs too.
Creating complicated self-service infrastructure for RnD used to take us days. Now, using env0, we can do it in minutes and incorporate it to a GitLab pipeline so any developer can do it by themselves.
