DevOps Spotlight: The CI/CD Pipeline We Built for a FinTech Client — and Why It Cut Deploy Time by 70%
A Mumbai-based payment processing company (anonymised) came to us with a problem: their 14-developer team was deploying once every two weeks, and every release required a manual 4-hour war room. Here's how we fixed it.
The Problem
Manual deployment process with 11 separate shell scripts. No automated testing gate. 3-environment promotion done by SSHing into servers. Rollback meant restoring a database backup — a 45-minute process. Every Friday was a production freeze.
What We Built
| Stage | What We Implemented | Tool |
| Source | Branch protection, PR-gated merges, commit signing | GitHub |
| Build | Containerised builds, dependency caching, SAST scan | GitHub Actions |
| Test | Unit + integration test gate, 80% coverage threshold | Jest / Pytest |
| Deploy | Helm chart rollouts to K8s, blue-green with instant rollback | ArgoCD + K8s |
| Monitor | Deployment health checks, auto-rollback on error spike | Prometheus + Grafana |
