Build and Deployment Automation for Applications Across Server Environments

Enhancement of Applications Across Server Environments with Build and Deployment Automation

The Current Scenario

Build and deployment automation is pivotal for optimizing the continuous integration and continuous delivery/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline. It accelerates application development and deployment across desired server environments. It enhances the efficiency, reliability, and scalability of applications while reducing manual intervention.

However, enhancing an application’s capabilities through build and deployment automation can be tricky. Organizations face various challenges while navigating the complexities of different server environments, version control systems, and custom integrations:

• Lack of standardized automation protocols across server environments
• Difficulty in maintaining consistency across multiple deployment pipelines
• No compatibility with different server environment-specific configurations
• Limited scalability to automate CI/CD workflow and reduce manual errors
• Inability to modernize legacy systems and integrate advanced technologies

Leverage Harbinger’s Build and Deployment Automation Solution

A leading compliance and HR solutions provider faced similar hiccups and wanted to overcome them with server environment-specific application build and deployment automation. They collaborated with Harbinger, a trusted HRTech partner, to optimize DevOps build and deployment time through the CI/CD pipeline and accelerate the delivery of implementations with utmost precision.

Harbinger helped the client with the build and deployment automation of their applications for the respective server environments. Our experienced DevOps engineer and architect followed a strategic approach to enable end-to-end CI/CD workflow automation for their applications.

Harbinger utilized the CI/CD pipeline to streamline and optimize the DevOps build and deployment time for each application. Our automation solution focused on core aspects like code repository migration, branching and merging strategy, unit testing and static code analysis, test management, and advanced technology integrations like Azure DevOps.

What was the Impact?

Harbinger’s build and deployment automation solution helped the client reduce manual intervention and ensure faster delivery of implementations across various server environments. It enabled the ‘build once and deploy anywhere’ workflow and integrated advanced tools and technologies that made the project a huge success.

With effective application build and deployment automation, our client was able to deploy backend, database scripts, and frontend changes on production in less than 30 minutes. They were also able to release sprint changes to production in less than 2 weeks of sprint completion.

Our client experienced substantial benefits, such as:

• 50% reduction in the application deployment time
• No dependency on the development team to manually build the application locally
• Optimization of build and deployment process through automated CI/CD pipeline
• Seamless deployment of QA-certified build artifact to the UAT and production
• Customers were satisfied with faster delivery of implementations

Successful application build and deployment automation can streamline development workflows, reduce manual errors, and expedite time-to-market. It can enhance the CI/CD pipeline and make the applications more efficient and agile. It helps development teams improve overall system reliability and focus on integrating essential features and functionalities into the applications.
