Engagement

8 months | Platform team augmentation

Outcomes

  • Lead time reduced from days to hours
  • Deployment failure rate < 2% with automatic rollback
  • SBOM and supply‑chain policy enforcement by default
  • Cost visibility with per‑service build minutes and artifacts

The challenge

Fragmented pipelines, snowflake environments and limited observability made releases slow and risky. Security controls were manual and inconsistent.

Objectives

  • Standardise pipelines across services
  • Embed security scanning and provenance (SLSA) in the path
  • Enable zero‑downtime deployments and automated rollback
  • Improve visibility with metrics, logs and traces

How we delivered

Approach

  • Assessment of current pipelines, environments and risks
  • Golden pipeline templates with reusable actions
