Project Requirements

Roambee, a leading global Supply Chain Management (SCM) company, has partnered with Techify to form a dedicated development team with diverse skills. The main goal of this collaboration is to modernize and streamline Roambee’s development and operations processes.

1. Identify the Best Technical Resources

• Version Control System (VCS)

Identify platforms which provide robust source code management, collaboration tools, and seamless integration with CI/CD tools, facilitating efficient code versioning and team collaboration.

• Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment Tools

Identify tools which automate the integration and deployment of code changes, enabling early detection of issues and ensuring that deployments are consistent and reliable.

2. Help Roambee in Their Product Development Process

• Implement static code analysis and code review processes to maintain high code quality and consistency across the Product Development.
• Integrate security testing into the CI/CD pipeline to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities early in the development cycle, ensuring secure applications.
• Maintain detailed documentation of the development process, CI/CD configurations, and deployment procedures. This ensures clarity, consistency, and facilitates smooth onboarding of new team members.

3. Set Up a CI/CD Pipeline

• Install and configure the chosen CI/CD tool.
• Create and configure build scripts to automate the compilation and packaging of applications. 
• Implement and integrate automated testing frameworks (e.g., JUnit, Selenium).
• Set up deployment scripts and use infrastructure automation tools like Ansible or Terraform. 
• Integrate monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack).

Solutions / Implementation
