Problem Statement
As the platform scaled to support more than 200 microservices, CI/CD practices naturally diversified across teams. To support the next phase of growth, the organization identified the need for a standardized, automated, and centrally governed delivery platform—one that could enhance visibility, ensure consistent quality, and strengthen compliance alignment across the software lifecycle.
Top 3 Achievements
Challenges
Fragmented Infrastructure
Multiple disconnected CI/CD setups without centralized management or visibility across environments.
Manual Deployments
Heavy reliance on manual processes increased operational overhead and slowed release efficiency.
No Version Control
Lack of a centralized VCS limited traceability, rollback capability and configuration consistency.
Inconsistent Environments
Deployment processes varied across DEV, QA and PROD, leading to governance and quality gaps.
Limited Visibility
Absence of unified monitoring made tracking deployment status and performance difficult.
Security Gaps
No automated vulnerability scanning or code quality checks during release cycles.
Kubernetes Complexity
Manifests managed separately for each service, increasing deployment errors and configuration drift.
Solutions
Early Assessment
Conducted comprehensive evaluation to identify gaps and define a scalable modernization roadmap.
Centralized CI/CD Platform
Unified all microservices under a single, standardized and automated CI/CD ecosystem.
Global Templates
Developed reusable pipeline templates enabling faster onboarding and consistent configurations across applications.
Version Control Implementation
Introduced centralized VCS ensuring traceability, version tagging and seamless rollback capabilities.
Automated Testing Framework
Integrated automated test cases and health checks to validate successful rollouts.
DevSecOps Integration
Embedded Coverity and SAST tools for continuous security scanning and code quality enforcement.
Multi-Environment Standardization
Streamlined deployment workflows across DEV, QA, SIT, and PROD environments for uniformity.
Kubernetes Automation
Automated manifest management through BuildPiper to ensure consistent, error-free container deployments.
Self-Service Enablement
Empowered development teams to manage deployments independently, reducing DevOps dependency.
