Main Challenge:
DevOps Implementation
Challenge
The client has dozens of large-scale web applications which are widely used and needs frequent updates considering the growing business needs of their customers. The client embarked on a mission to scale their business, implement DevOps culture, standardize the benchmark practices for specific engineering teams to align their pursued business agility with IT agility while automating manual deployment processes. The internal team was facing challenges with implementing effective automated quality gates for the Continuous Integration portion of the CI-CD pipeline.
The goal of this project is to improve the software delivery practices in the organization through adoption of Continuous Delivery practices to enable faster releases, improve software quality and streamline engineering workflows.
Solutions Proposed
The objective is to enable Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery through which developers can integrate code several times a day so that they can do error detection faster and turn software release cycles shorter.
These are some of the key elements in the solution.
- Optimized release process across applications through:
- Employed uniform branching strategy
- Dedicated QA environments
- Integrated Unit and Smoke tests within the Pipeline
- Automated deployments through ADO Release Pipelines
- Automated Re-deployment Triggers for failed builds/releases
- Automated Manual Tasks (scheduled tasks to start/stop services)
- Legacy code quality improved through automated code quality checks
- Migration of Repos from TFS to Git in ADO and integration with Azure Boards
