Accelerating Banking Innovation with CI/CD Automation and Agile DevOps Integration

We used to dread releases. Now, they’re a non-event. Centizen helped us move from slow, manual updates to a world where every change goes live seamlessly. It’s been a game-changer for our teams.

Leading U.S. Banking Data Provider

The client is a U.S.-based banking technology provider offering enterprise-grade credit and financial data solutions. Their services rely on multiple data streams and real-time updates. With growing demands for speed, accuracy, and stability, the company turned to Centizen to overhaul its software delivery model using modern DevOps and CI/CD practices.

The Challenge

Development was stalling due to long testing cycles, manual deployments, and lack of a unified DevOps strategy. Teams couldn’t push updates fast enough to keep pace with evolving business needs, leading to delays, quality issues, and growing tech debt.

The Solution

Centizen introduced a full CI/CD DevOps pipeline with automated builds, testing, and containerized deployments. Developers gained confidence to merge frequently, while automated security scans and infrastructure provisioning ensured reliability and speed.

The Outcome

The client moved from manual, bi-weekly releases to daily automated deployments. Testing was instant, bugs were caught earlier, and cross-team collaboration improved. Customers experienced continuous improvements without downtime.

The Solution

Over 13 weeks, Centizen delivered a structured, enterprise-grade CI/CD transformation:

  • Weeks 1–2: Conducted technical assessment of current pipelines, deployment timelines, and infrastructure gaps.
  • Weeks 3–5: Introduced source control standardization with Git. Created CI pipelines using Bitbucket Pipelines and GitHub Actions. Integrated automated unit and integration testing.
  • Weeks 6–8: Containerized services using Docker and orchestrated deployments using Kubernetes for staging and production.
  • Weeks 9–10: Embedded security with automated SAST and DAST tools. Applied secrets management protocols and access control audits.
  • Weeks 11–12: Deployed cloud infrastructure with Terraform. Rolled out centralized logging and monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK stack.
  • Week 13: Final validation, UAT, and developer onboarding with documentation and live support sessions.
