The Challenge
The organization operated with fragmented CI/CD infrastructure spread across Jenkins and Azure DevOps. This dual-platform setup generated significant licensing costs and created daily friction for development teams.
Developer Pain Points:
- Developers couldn’t build their own pipelines — no reusable components existed
- Teams patched together custom solutions that often broke in production
- Every pipeline change required DevOps team support and intervention
- Zero consistency across projects — each team implemented CI/CD differently
- No standards, no governance, no shared best practices
The lack of self-service capabilities meant the DevOps team became a bottleneck, slowing down delivery across all projects.
My Solution
Executed a complete, zero-downtime migration to GitHub Enterprise. The solution evolved into a comprehensive platform with reusable building blocks:
- Converted complex Groovy/YAML pipelines to optimized GitHub Actions workflows
- Built a library of reusable workflow components that developers can compose themselves
- Created comprehensive documentation explaining how to use each building block
- Established governance policies and Policy as Code standards
- Standardized all infrastructure provisioning via Terraform modules
The result: developers are now fully self-sufficient. They can build, modify, and maintain their own pipelines without DevOps intervention. Workflows are clean and readable — team members from other departments can review and understand them easily. Pipeline execution time dropped by an average of 30%.
