CI/CD Pipelines
A product company was releasing every two weeks with a lot of manual steps and wanted to move to multiple deploys per week with confidence.
Build, test, and deploy automation for fast, safe releases.
Builds and tests were run locally or on ad-hoc agents; deployments were manual and sometimes caused outages. We set up CI/CD: automated build and test on every commit, artefact promotion, and deployment pipelines with staging and production gates. We introduced feature flags and canary-style rollouts so they could release frequently and limit blast radius. We also improved test coverage in critical paths and added basic performance checks in the pipeline.
They now deploy several times per week; release-related incidents are down, and the team has cut a large portion of the manual work they used to do around releases.
Key Outcomes
- ·Multiple deploys per week with automated build, test, deploy
- ·Fewer release-related incidents; use of feature flags and canary
- ·Reduced manual work around releases
