CI/CD Consulting Services
The main goals of CD construction consulting are to minimize errors, make deployments regular and improve the quality of the final product. CI/CD testing is performed whenever changes are made to the code. Detecting bugs early in the development process saves a lot of time and resources for the team because the later a bug is detected, the harder and more expensive it is to fix. As for speeding up, CI/CD automation helps to significantly optimize all routine build processes.

CI/CD Consulting Services We are Highly Specialized
IT Outpost helps you deploy the appropriate update flow to each of the 3 environments and testing of IT solutions (microservices-based applications, high-load projects, etc.). The service provides everything for flexible configuration and CD management consulting of clusters, migration, and distribution.
Distribution of Responsibilities
Tasks and stages of development are divided between team members or subgroups (when working on a large project). The work process is organized taking into account business logistics, implementation of end-to-end functions, testing, data storage security, etc.
Risk Reduction
Each developer or subgroup of developers should strive to minimize vulnerabilities and errors at all stages of development. To do this, business logistics are constantly monitored, user testing of the product is performed, storage and data processing are optimized, etc.
Feedback Optimization
The success of a project depends on how developers, customers, and users work with each other. This affects the speed of making adjustments and updates to the application. While build and testing can be automated, many other operations require human involvement.
Creation of a Working Environment
For the convenience of teamwork, the developers must have a common workspace. Along with the main branch of the process, it must have a secondary - it is more convenient to test, make corrections, track fault tolerance, etc.
Our CI/CD Consulting Stages
The main task for a CI/CD consultant is to create the optimal environment for production preparation and testing, as well as to provide end-to-end technical support for the next phases of development planned for implementation over the next few years.
Code Writing
Each developer creates code for the module assigned to him and tests it in manual mode. The developed and tested program unit is then integrated in the main branch with the current version of the product. Once all modules are published in the main branch, the team moves on to the next stage.
Assembly
A pre-selected version control system triggers automated assembly and testing of the entire product. Triggers can be set up automatically or manually. Automatic builds are performed using Jenkins or another continuous integration server.
Manual Testing
Once the CI server finishes the automated build of the product, it is handed over to testers for testing. They use different testing techniques to identify and fix bugs and software vulnerabilities.
Release
After the bugs are fixed, the cleaned and debugged code is moved to the release stage for the customers. It is checked by the customer, probably with the help of their own specialists or a limited group of users. Based on the results of the check, the code is sent for revision or approved.
Benefits of our CI/CD Consulting Service
CI/CD is a modern analogy of conveyor production. They are united by a clear division of labor, continuous, streaming nature of the work process, and parallel execution of several tasks at once (for example, coding and testing). Today this concept is the dominant one in DevOps.
Parallel Testing
The quality of the product is improved through parallel testing of the functional blocks of the future system. Bottlenecks and critical points are fixed and eliminated early in the cycle.
Full Customer Support
The project goals include a selection of a cloud provider for MVP, configuration of the provider’s services, setting up the environment, and configuring the CI/CD process. Technical support and CI CD consulting services are then provided to the customer.
Implementation of the Environment
The development team needs a unified working environment for version control and building support branches for quality control, acceptability, scalability, and fault tolerance of the code produced.
Selection of Promising Variants
Fast testing and a large number of iterations allow the developer to screen out unpromising code variants at the initial stages.

FAQ
What is the Difference Between Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment?
Continuous Deployment is often confused with Continuous Delivery, although there are clear differences that you should be aware of and understand. Continuous Delivery ensures that updates are continually released to users. Continuous Deployment is responsible for ensuring that all new functionality after testing gets into the main program immediately without manual intervention from DevOps engineers.
What Challenges Did CI/CD Adopt?
The most common mistakes are building a CD on unstable CI and not balancing the risks and benefits of automation.
What Makes a Good CI/CD Pipeline?
CI/CD or CICD is a combination of continuous integration and continuous software delivery during development. CI/CD integrates application development, testing, and deployment. Regular and reliable updates reduce release cycles through continuous code delivery.
