CI/CD and monitoring implementation
The challenge Initially, they were building their reconditioning platform without any automation or defined lifecycle. They deployed new features to production manually two to four times a month, and when issues arose leading to server outages, they were unaware of the root causes, with a recovery time of approximately 30 minutes. The goal was to establish a software development life cycle (SDLC) that minimized manual interventions and streamlined the release process while ensuring quality and security. They also aimed to monitor their application, receive alerts for issues, easily identify problem sources, and reduce recovery time. The solution After assessing the client's requirements, Cloudreams assigned a DevOps team of two engineers to design a new SDLC. We implemented a continuous integration and continuous deployment system that included unit testing, integration testing, and automated deployments. This advancement allowed us to improve the release frequency from two to four times a month to once or twice a day. Additionally, we introduced a centralized logging system and ongoing monitoring to enhance visibility into the application and quickly identify the causes of any issues.
