01
The challenge
Fieldstone’s releases took two days, needed four people and were scheduled around everyone’s nerves. Environments drifted, deployments were partly manual, and a failed release meant a long night of diagnosis.
02
Our solution
We made the automated pipeline the only path to production, defined every environment as code, introduced fast tests on every commit and automated health checks that block a bad release. Rollbacks were rehearsed until routine, and the team was trained to own the pipeline.
03
The outcome
Releases take fifteen minutes with one button, deployment frequency grew fivefold and the change-failure rate fell by seventy percent. The documentation produced is now the team’s onboarding guide.
“Their DevOps engagement turned a two-day release ritual into a fifteen-minute pipeline. The documentation alone was worth the fee.”
