Automated CI/CD Pipeline

Project Overview

This project involved designing and implementing a comprehensive CI/CD pipeline for a financial technology company handling over 10 million transactions daily. The solution automated the entire software delivery lifecycle, from code commit to production deployment, reducing deployment time from 4 hours to 15 minutes while maintaining zero-downtime deployments.

The pipeline integrates security scanning, automated testing, and compliance checks, ensuring that every deployment meets the strict regulatory requirements of the financial services industry.
