Case Study
Transforming EzMandi’s Development Workflow with Cloud & CI/CD Automation
EzMandi aimed to optimize its development and deployment by automating workflows and enhancing scalability. This involved setting up a scalable cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), implementing a GitLab CI/CD pipeline, and automating app deployments with Docker containers. Custom Dockerfiles and Compose YAML files were used for packaging, while the CI/CD pipeline ensured smooth deployments across various environments. The solution improved deployment speed, reduced errors, and supported scalability and future maintainability.
The Vision
To automate the deployment processes, establish a robust Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline, and deliver comprehensive documentation to support infrastructure and deployment strategies. The goal was to improve operational efficiency and foster smooth integration across multiple technologies.
Scenario
Modernizing DevOps Infrastructure
Ezmandi sought expert support to modernize its DevOps infrastructure and streamline application delivery across various environments. The project focused on four critical areas. First, a robust and scalable cloud environment was established on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), providing the foundation for future growth and operational efficiency. Second, GitLab CI/CD pipelines were implemented to support automated workflows across Development, UAT (User Acceptance Testing), and Production environments, ensuring faster and more reliable deployments. Third, the application deployment process was fully containerized using Docker, with seamless integration into the CI/CD pipelines for automated delivery to GCP. Finally, comprehensive documentation was created to capture the entire CI/CD setup and deployment workflow, enabling knowledge transfer and long-term maintainability for Ezmandi’s internal teams.
What we did
Driving Operational Efficiency Through Automation and Cloud Integration
We designed a complete CI/CD workflow integrated with Google Cloud Platform. We began by creating custom Dockerfiles and Docker Compose configurations to containerize applications, making them easier to deploy and manage.
Next, we set up a GitLab CI/CD pipeline that automated code integration, testing, and deployment across Development, UAT, and Production environments. The pipeline was configured to deploy Docker containers directly to GCP, ensuring seamless scalability and high availability. Finally, we provided detailed documentation covering the entire infrastructure setup and deployment process to support maintainability and knowledge transfer.
Key features of the experience
