CI/CD Pipeline & DevOps Automation

Automated build, deployment, and infrastructure management

Project Overview

Comprehensive CI/CD pipeline and DevOps platform development for EXEM APM solution development environment, featuring Git trigger-based automated builds, multi-environment deployment, and real-time Slack notifications to modernize development-operations workflows and enhance productivity.

Challenge

EXEM needed a modern DevOps platform that could handle diverse monitoring applications across multiple environments, ensure deployment reliability, provide zero-downtime deployments, and scale efficiently while maintaining developer productivity and operational stability.

Solution

Automated CI/CD Pipeline Architecture

Built comprehensive pipeline architecture supporting multi-branch workflows, automated testing, and deployment strategies.

Git trigger-based automated builds: Automatic build execution on code push
Parallel test execution with comprehensive coverage reporting
Automated artifact management and versioning with semantic versioning
Slack integration: Real-time build/deployment status notifications

Zero-Downtime Deployment Strategy

Implemented advanced deployment patterns ensuring business continuity during releases.

Blue-Green deployment for instant rollback capability
Canary deployment for gradual traffic shifting and risk mitigation
Automated health checks and rollback triggers
Load balancer integration for seamless traffic management
