Case study

Problem

Across many builds, deployment automation is a recurring pain: every product needs reliable pipelines, environment management, and reproducible infrastructure. Rapic was an internal initiative to productize that repeat work into a SaaS tool developers could reuse.

The goal was to reduce DevOps overhead by creating a system that:

  • Connects directly to GitHub repositories
  • Automates deployment to hosting platforms
  • Uses modern containerization/orchestration so deployments are reproducible and scalable
  • Is simple enough that teams don’t need custom DevOps work for every project

Solution

Horizon Labs designed and built a deployment automation platform that:

  • Integrates with GitHub as the source of truth
  • Containerizes applications with Docker
  • Orchestrates deployments with Kubernetes
  • Runs on AWS infrastructure
  • Shipped an MVP in ~3 months, then incorporated feedback and iterations for ~6 months

Outcome

  • MVP successfully launched, validating feasibility of a reusable deployment automation tool
  • Demonstrated a repeatable approach to reducing deployment friction across projects
  • Served as a strong internal proof point in DevOps automation (even though it did not reach the traction/funding threshold to continue)
