EdTech CI/CD Pipeline Implementation
10x Faster Deployments
80% Fewer Production Bugs
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
