Our client, GridHawk, LLC, a software development team, sought to migrate their deployment pipeline for the .NET Core Desktop Application “Keystone” from Jenkins and Bitbucket to AWS CodePipeline. The goal was to enhance the deployment process using AWS-native tools, ensuring a phased, seamless transition across Development, Staging, and Production environments with minimal disruption and high-quality deployment.

We executed the project through a structured, phased approach:

Analysis and Planning:

• Assessed the existing pipeline architecture and infrastructure across Development, Staging, and Production environments.
• Developed a comprehensive migration and implementation plan, including rollback strategies to mitigate risks.

AWS Environment Setup:

• Established and configured AWS CodeCommit, or integrated with Bitbucket.
• Set up AWS CodeBuild and AWS CodeDeploy across all environments.
• Implemented IAM roles and policies for secure access and operations.

Pipeline Development and Phased Implementation:

• Developed and configured AWS CodePipeline workflows.
• Sequentially implemented and tested the pipeline in the Development, Staging, and Production environments.
• Integrated necessary checks and balances for each environment to ensure seamless transitions.

Testing, Validation, and Optimization:

• Conducted thorough testing in each environment to validate the pipeline’s functionality and performance.
• Optimized the pipeline for efficiency, reliability, and speed.

Documentation, Training, and Handover:

• Documented the pipeline processes and configurations for each environment.
• Prepared and delivered training sessions for the client’s team to ensure smooth handover and ongoing operation.
