ENGINEERING CASE STUDY

Automated CI/CD &
Zero-Downtime Deployment

A deep dive into migrating a legacy manual workflow into a resilient, high-availability DevOps architecture.

Explore Architecture

The Challenge

Identifying the bottlenecks hindering scale.

Fragile Deployments

Manual SSH/FTP uploads led to "it works on my machine" syndrome and version conflicts in production.

Costly Downtime

Users experienced 15-30 minutes of "Service Unavailable" screens during every update cycle.

Blind Spots

Lack of monitoring meant relying on customer support tickets to detect server crashes.

THE SOLUTION

Infrastructure as Code

We implemented a fully automated pipeline using GitHub Actions to orchestrate Docker builds. Traffic is managed via Nginx using a Blue-Green deployment strategy to ensure zero downtime.
