# Webcast Recording | How Lightstep Quadrupled Deployment Velocity with Cypress

April 21, 2020

By The Cypress Team

Last week, our VP of Engineering, [Gleb Bahmutov](https://twitter.com/bahmutov?ref=cypress-io.ghost.io), and [Lightstep](https://lightstep.com/?ref=cypress-io.ghost.io) Product Engineers, [Jonah Moses](https://twitter.com/jonahmoses?ref=cypress-io.ghost.io) and [Ted Pennings](https://twitter.com/thesleepyvegan?ref=cypress-io.ghost.io), presented a live webcast on how the team went from a 15-page document of step-by-step QA instructions for each deployment, to quadrupling deployment velocity with Cypress.

Some of the key topics they covered include:

-   How they automated their test suite, significantly lowering operational overhead
-   How switching to Cypress allowed them to deploy much more often
-   How they cover all the facets of testing their application

The questions we received were all fantastic - thanks to all who attended the live broadcast via Zoom or YouTube Live, and to those who asked live questions via Slido. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************You can watch the webcast recording below:****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
