Faster Builds, Fewer Previews Stuck in Queue
For justInCase Technologies, the insurance sector's reliance on lengthy legal documents means frequent, small updates are part of daily life. The development team previously wrestled with a cloud platform that made even minor changes to their monorepo a chore, requiring them to juggle multiple continuous deployment (CD) pipelines. GitHub previews often stalled in the queued stage and then failed, wasting developer time on waits that ended in dead ends.
Switching to Vercel eliminated those preview failures. The team now sees builds run 50% faster, saving a total of 72 hours of developer time each month—more than six hours per developer. That reclaimed time has gone toward managing a larger product portfolio, launching a new blog, and polishing the corporate site to a perfect 100 PageSpeed Insights score on desktop.
"After we started moving our projects to Vercel, we immediately saw the development efficiency benefits."
Takahiro Ohata, CTO at justInCase Technologies
Automation on Top of Acceleration
To compound the gains, the team enabled GitHub Actions on Vercel to automate routine parts of the workflow. This integration removes manual steps without introducing new complexity, keeping the focus on shipping updates rather than managing pipelines.
The shift has also had a recruiting side effect. justInCase notes that candidates are drawn to the company's use of Vercel and Next.js, making the stack a selling point for attracting the next generation of developers.
