About the Client
An EdTech company with slow, error-prone manual deployments causing delays and production issues.
The Challenge
Manual deployment process took 4+ hours with multiple handoffs between development and operations teams
No automated testing meant bugs frequently reached production, causing student-facing outages
Releases happened only monthly due to deployment complexity, slowing feature delivery
Development team spent 30% of time on deployment tasks instead of building new features
No rollback capability meant production issues required emergency fixes under pressure
The Solution
Fully automated CI/CD pipeline with infrastructure as code, automated testing, and blue-green deployments.
Technical Implementation
Designed multi-stage CodePipeline with source, build, test, staging, and production stages with manual approval gates
Configured CodeBuild projects with custom build specifications for Node.js frontend and Python backend services
Implemented automated unit tests, integration tests, and security scanning (SAST) as pipeline gates
Set up ECR repositories with vulnerability scanning enabled and image signing for supply chain security
Created blue-green deployment strategy for zero-downtime releases with automatic rollback on health check failures
Integrated Slack notifications for pipeline status updates and approval requests
