Introduction (Client & Context)

As SteadyMD scaled, their delivery pipeline became a bottleneck. Manual steps, inconsistent test coverage, and configuration drift made every release risky. What should have been routine was stressful. Failures during deploys were too common, and developers were losing confidence. They needed automation—without losing control.

The CONFLICT Approach

We engineered a fully hands-off CI/CD system that builds, tests, and deploys automatically across all environments. Using GitHub Actions and Terraform, we codified the pipeline from commit to cloud—layering in robust testing workflows, configuration-as-code, and human approval gates for final deploys. This wasn’t DevOps theater. It was real automation, tailored to SteadyMD’s product velocity and HIPAA-compliant needs.

Results & Impact

The transformation was significant:

  • Deployment failure rate dropped to near 0%
  • Configuration changes are now fully versioned and validated
  • Engineers deploy confidently, knowing tests and gates catch issues early
  • Human approval gates allow final oversight without slowing the process

SteadyMD’s CI/CD pipeline became an engine of speed, not a source of risk.

Conclusion & Testimonial Quote

“Before CONFLICT, deployments felt like a gamble. Now, it’s automatic, reliable, and repeatable. CI/CD just works—builds run, tests pass, changes ship. And we still have the control we need. It’s everything we hoped DevOps could be.” — Patrick Evans, VPE, SteadyMD

From friction, we engineered reliability at scale.
