Project Overview

Led the redesign of legacy CI/CD pipelines to improve deployment speed, reliability, and security. The project involved migrating from Jenkins-based workflows to modern GitHub Actions with AWS integration.

Key Technologies

  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions, AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodeDeploy
  • Containerization: Docker, Amazon ECR
  • Infrastructure: AWS ECS, Lambda, API Gateway
  • Testing: Jest, Cypress, SonarQube
  • Monitoring: CloudWatch, Datadog

Implementation Strategy

Pipeline Architecture

Designed a multi-stage pipeline architecture with automated testing, security scanning, and progressive deployment strategies. Each stage included comprehensive validation and rollback capabilities.

Performance Optimization

  • Implemented parallel job execution
  • Optimized Docker layer caching
  • Integrated artifact management with Amazon ECR
  • Reduced build times from 25 minutes to 10 minutes

Security Integration

  • Automated vulnerability scanning with Snyk
  • Integrated SAST/DAST security testing
  • Implemented secrets management with AWS Secrets Manager
  • Added compliance checks and audit logging

Key Achievements

  • 60% reduction in deployment time
  • 99.5% deployment success rate
  • Zero production incidents from faulty deployments
  • Automated rollback capabilities implemented
  • Enhanced security with automated scanning

The optimized pipeline now supports multiple deployment strategies including blue-green and canary deployments, with comprehensive monitoring and alerting throughout the entire process.
