Modernizing the delivery pipeline meant codifying every compliance requirement alongside progressive delivery guardrails.

Approach

  1. Built a GitOps workflow with signed container promotion.
  2. Enforced policy-as-code for segregation of duties and CAB approvals.
  3. Added automated fallbacks leveraging blue/green environments with database shadow traffic.

Impact

  • 28 automated releases per week with zero repeat audit findings.
  • Recovery time improved to under 7 minutes thanks to deterministic rollbacks.
