A global Cyber Security firm’s journey towards CI-CD

Development of CI-CD pipeline to enhance the organization's software delivery procedures and enable quicker releases.

Business Vertical:

Cybersecurity

Region:

USA

Main Challenge:

Continuous Integration and Deployment

Overview

The client is a US-based cybersecurity business that specializes in the healthcare sector. KPi-Tech brought together the forces of development and operations teams to achieve business agility through IT agility while automating manual deployment processes in Cyber Security company.

Business Need

The objective of this project is to embrace Continuous Delivery principles to enhance the organization's software delivery procedures and enable quicker releases, better software quality, and more efficient engineering workflows.

  • Continuous delivery of mobile applications
  • Reduces code complexity, possible vulnerabilities, and code duplications
  • Better collaboration between teams’ s delivery of software
  • Reduced Deployment Failures, Rollbacks, and Time to Recover
  • Reduced time to market
  • Release mobile app to multiple environments and stores

Challenges

The client's widely used iOS and Android applications require regular updates due to the expanding business requirements of their users. The client's objectives included growing their company, establishing a DevOps culture, establishing benchmarks for engineering teams, and automating manual deployment and code review procedures. The internal team was having trouble setting up efficient automatic quality gates for the CI-CD pipeline's Continuous Integration section.

Solution

The goal is to provide continuous integration and delivery, which allows developers to integrate code several times per day, enabling quicker error detection and shorter application release cycles.

DevOps Engineers created a CI/CD pipeline using Bitbucket as a source code repository, Jenkins as a CI, and Fastlane as CD automation tools to speed up the deployment, testing, and to produce the highest-quality code, our team employed SonarQube and quality gates that were advised by the industry. The stages of the mobile app delivery lifecycle contain building, unit testing, monitoring each stage via slack notification, address every aspect of continuous delivery.


These are a few of the solution's crucial components:

  • Dedicated alpha & beta environments in the Apple & Play store .
  • Integrated Unit and Smoke tests within the Pipeline .
  • Quick detection of errors, vulnerabilities, code duplications and bugs.
  • Pipeline stage monitoring.
Integrated Disparate Healthcare Systems
CI-CD solution Architecture

Technologies used:

Jenkins, SonarQube, Fastlane, Bitbucket, EC2 MAC instance, Slack

Result


  • The development cycle was sped up and the risk of manual error was eliminated with a fully automated CI/CD system.
  • 30% of developers’ time is now invested in coding instead of manual deployments and resolving the bugs
  • Manual implementation for a CI/CD solution would have taken around 3-4 hours and de-bugging an error would take the whole day. But with fully automated CI/CD solution, the entire process was completed in 10 minutes.
  • Code duplication was reduced by 25%
  • Efficiently improved code coverage from 25% to 90%
  • 98% of the Code Smells, vulnerabilities bugs & Hotspots were removed.
