GaiaBuilder

Automate All Your GIS deployments from development to production

Always a reliable and repeatable arcGIS deployment

GaiaBuilder automates your entire Esri ArcGIS deployment process with CI/CD, version control, complete traceability, and instant recovery. Your DTAP environments remain consistently stable and error-free—every time.

Key challenges

Esri ArcGIS Enterprise is powerful, but deploying and updating GIS content still takes teams unnecessary amounts of time. Manual steps, outdated scripts, and hidden dependencies lead to errors, frustration, and delays—ultimately slowing down innovation. As a result, the development team can’t deliver the full potential value, because they’re held back by the following challenges:

Delayed releases

Releases take hours or even an entire day.

Environment inconsistencies

DTAP environments drift apart due to manual work.

Lack of change management

There is no clear overview of who made which changes.

Complex restoration process

Fixing an error takes a lot of time because quick rollback is missing.

Script maintenance challenges

Custom scripts need to be updated repeatedly after each Esri update.

Lack of DevOps integration

GIS is often separated from IT, preventing the use of Git and CI/CD.
