Delivery Pipeline Setup

Automate Your Drupal Deployments

Manual deployments are slow, risky, and expensive. Every deployment requires senior engineers to manually test changes, coordinate downtime windows, and monitor for issues. This creates bottlenecks, delays security updates, and makes every deployment stressful.

TrueCMS Delivery Pipeline Setup service automates your Drupal deployment process with quality gates and zero-downtime deployments. We build CI/CD pipelines that automatically test changes, deploy to staging, and enable confident production deployments with one click.

Whether you're starting from scratch or improving existing automation, we deliver pipelines that reduce deployment time from hours to minutes while actually improving quality and reliability.

What You Get

• Automated Quality Gates: Code quality, security scans, and automated tests run on every commit
• Zero-Downtime Deployments: Deploy to production without taking your site offline
• Automated Testing: Unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests in every deployment
• Environment Parity: Dev, staging, and production environments with identical configuration
• Rollback Capability: Automatic rollback if deployment fails quality checks
• Configuration Management: Version-controlled configuration with automated deployment
• Security Scanning: Automated vulnerability detection and dependency updates
• Clear Documentation: Complete runbooks and training for your team

Our Pipeline Setup Process

1. Current State Assessment: Audit existing deployment process and identify pain points
2. Pipeline Design: Architecture design for CI/CD pipeline with quality gates
3. Tool Selection: Choosing the right tools for your stack (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, etc.)
4. Incremental Implementation: Building pipeline in stages with immediate value delivery
5. Automated Testing: Creating comprehensive test coverage with team training
6. Zero-Downtime Setup: Implementing blue-green or rolling deployment strategy
7. Team Training: Hands-on training for developers and operations staff
8. Handover: Complete documentation and support during transition period

Who This Is For

• Manual Deployments: Teams spending hours on each deployment with high failure rates
• Growing Teams: Scaling deployment process to handle more developers and projects
• Compliance Requirements: Government or enterprise requirements for auditable deployments
• Multi-Site Operations: Managing multiple Drupal sites requiring consistent deployment processes

Technology Stack

We implement pipelines with proven tools:

• CI/CD Platforms: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, or Jenkins
• Container Orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes, or platform-native containers
• Testing Frameworks: PHPUnit, Behat, Cypress, or Playwright
• Infrastructure: AWS, Lagoon, or Acquia hosting platforms
• Monitoring: New Relic, Datadog, Prometheus, or platform-native monitoring

Why Choose TrueCMS for Pipeline Setup

Most agencies build basic CI/CD but skip the quality gates that actually improve reliability. We focus on comprehensive testing and automated quality checks that catch issues before they reach production.

Our experience with quality-gated pipelines means we know which quality checks matter and which create false positives. We build pipelines that improve speed and quality without creating bottlenecks or friction for developers.

The result: deployments that are faster, safer, and dramatically cheaper than manual processes. Most clients recover their pipeline setup investment within 3-6 months through reduced deployment costs and faster time-to-market.
