Flow and Branching Strategy Design
Triggers, environment levels, protected branch policies, and approval mechanisms are designed according to the GitFlow or Trunk-based principles.
CI/CD pipeline setup is a service that involves passing code changes through automated build, automated test (unit/integration), DevSecOps security scans, and zero-downtime deployment stages to safely deliver them to production environments.
A sustainable and flexible software delivery process requires a more comprehensive infrastructure than just running automated deployment commands. A professional CI/CD automation relies on a architecture that catches errors early in the development phase, produces immutable artifacts/images, protects secrets, and makes all release processes traceable.
In the pipeline infrastructure to be set up, branching strategies (GitFlow, Trunk-based), dependency caching, runner/agent resource cost optimization, environment isolation (Dev/Staging/Prod), manual or automated approval gates, and automatic rollback scenarios are designed in a holistic approach that aligns with the team's working practices.
Triggers, environment levels, protected branch policies, and approval mechanisms are designed according to the GitFlow or Trunk-based principles.
Dependency caching to optimize build times, parallel unit/integration tests, and immutable artifact production in container registry are configured.
HashiCorp Vault or platform internal secret management integration, least privilege principle (PoLP), static code/dependency security scans, and zero-downtime (Blue/Green, Canary, Rolling Release) deployment models are applied.
Semantic versioning, centralized pipeline log monitoring, real-time notification integrations (Slack, Teams), and automatic/manual rollback mechanisms in case of failed deployments are prepared.

Depending on your existing code repository and infrastructure preferences, CI/CD architectures based on GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or Bitbucket Pipelines can be designed. The tool selection is shaped according to your existing software ecosystem and operational cost considerations.
This depends on the project's criticality level and risk tolerance. While full automation (Continuous Deployment) is applied to Test and Staging environments, it is common practice to have protected branch rules, manual approval gates (Continuous Delivery), or specific time windows for Production environments.
Depending on the application architecture, steps such as rolling back to the previous Kubernetes pod image/tag, redirecting traffic from Blue/Green deployment to the old environment, or executing release rollback procedures are performed. For database schema changes, backward compatibility and backup strategies are defined upfront.
