Automating CI/CD with AWS DevOps Tools for a Scalable Cloud-Native Application (ECL)

A fast-growing fintech company was hindered by slow, error-prone manual deployments for its cloud-native application. The frontend was hosted on Amazon S3, while the backend ran on Amazon EC2, with no automated pipeline in place. NeenOpal streamlined their operations by designing and deploying a fully automated CI/CD pipeline using AWS DevOps tools, resulting in faster releases, reduced risk, and real-time observability.

Customer Challenges

Manual deployment processes were slowing growth and introducing critical risks. The client needed streamlined, secure, and observable delivery mechanisms to scale efficiently using modern DevOps AWS practices.

Inefficient Manual Deployments

Frontend updates required manual uploads to Amazon S3. Backend changes relied on SSH access to EC2, often causing downtime, version mismatches, and delays in delivery. There were no CI CD automation tools in place to handle release workflows.

Lack of Observability

No unified monitoring system meant issues went unnoticed until users were impacted. Troubleshooting was reactive, with no logs or metrics to guide resolution.

Security Gaps

Manual deployment practices lacked proper access control and audit trails. There were no checks for vulnerabilities or compliance, leaving systems exposed.

Solutions

NeenOpal deployed a fully automated, secure, and observable CI/CD pipeline using AWS-native tools to eliminate inefficiencies and enhance delivery.

Unified CI/CD Pipeline

AWS CodePipeline and CodeBuild automated frontend builds to S3, while backend deployments were handled through SSM scripts on EC2—eliminating all manual intervention

Serverless Execution for Backend

AWS Lambda replaced SSH with managed, event-driven deployment logic, ensuring consistent configuration and seamless rollbacks.

Real-Time Visibility & Security Controls

Integrated CloudWatch, X-Ray, and SNS for monitoring and alerts, and enforced least-privilege access through IAM policies and automated compliance scans.
