CD (Continuous Delivery) is a software development methodology that is an extension of CI (Continuous Integration). It automates not only builds and tests but also the release of the code to the repository for deployment to the production environment. Before such a release to the repository, the code is deployed to a test or staging environment where UI and system tests are automatically performed. This enables early detection of bugs, improvement of the product and service quality as well as reduction of the release time beyond what can be achieved with CI. CD is essential to improve the competitiveness of the software.
We provide end-to-end solutions for CD, starting with the implementation of CI if it is not already in place. It is necessary to grasp the customer’s holistic picture including the application part to build the best CI/CD. We are highly competent and capable of this because many of us started our career as application developers.

1. CD Design/Implementation from Scratch

We design and implement CD for customers who are seeking to achieve further competitiveness by means of CD. Some of them can be launching a new software development or have the existing one where CD has not been implemented yet. In line with your situation, we create a strategic roadmap for CD, followed by system design and implementation. This is based on the optimized template which makes it highly effective even if it is your first CD or you do not have a dedicated DevOps team. After the implementation, we will also hold training sessions. This empowers the team to acquire DevOps way of development and make them confident about handling DevOps operations.

2. CD Enhancement

If you have already adopted CD, we can improve it through bottom-up and top-down approaches. In the bottom-up approach, we detect the bottleneck by examining the existing CD. In the top-down approach, we find the challenge by comparing it with our optimized template. Based on them, we create an improvement plan, followed by system design and implementation. In the meantime, we also investigate CI, aiming to optimize CI/CD as a whole. The current trend is to introduce new technologies – specifically, leveraging of Kubernetes and new cloud services. We are continuously updating our services by researching the latest technologies and are ready to provide the best combination for our customers.
