Developing a Continuous Integration and Deployment Pipeline

A $150 million national distributor of car parts inherited a collection of e-commerce properties via acquisitions, which lacked a controlled and traceable development process, clear demarcation of responsibilities and release management governance. Cimphoni consultants consolidated these e-commerce properties to a single system establishing a foundation for later migration to a microservices-based platform. This entailed the implementation of infrastructure as code, continuous integration and deployment pipelines and organized release management. This enabled a bi-weekly release cadence with no production downtimes. The result of this engagement increased features per release capacity by 100% and reduced escape defects by 90 percent, while significantly reducing the time to market for new e-commerce capabilities.
