StrataOps

Automated Microservices Infrastructure & CI/CD Deployment Automation

The Engineering Challenge

Problem Context

The engineering team needed an efficient, low-overhead container orchestration system that provided automated builds, reproducible QA staging environments, and zero-touch deployments without the complexity of an oversized Kubernetes cluster.

The Architectural Blueprint

Solution Delivered

Engineered an automated Docker Swarm cluster with Jenkins and GitHub Actions pipelines, GCP Artifact Registry storage, and Nginx reverse proxy service routing configured for seamless environment isolation and fast rollbacks.
