AllCode has established a robust release management process to efficiently transition software from development to production, ensuring speed and reliability. We have developed an internal pipeline workflow management system using AWS CodePipeline and CodeCommit to facilitate Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD). This process builds, tests, and deploys code automatically with every code change, based on predefined release models.

Please review our release workflow example and backlog release management metrics.

AllCode Software Release Workflows

AllCode has a 6 step process for software release workflows.
1. We define our pipeline structure by creating a CodePipeline through the AWS Management Console. Alternatively, we leverage BitBucket, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Argo. Next, we define the stages of our software release process within the pipeline.
2. We update existing pipelines and/or create templates. We use a declarative JSON document to update existing pipelines or provide templates for creating new ones that allow us to model our release process effectively.
3. Monitoring and Event Notification Set up. We will monitor events that impact the pipelines using Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS). This keeps us informed about changes and updates.
4. Configure control and permissions. We will configure permissions and who can change and control the release workflow using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to set permissions for users.
5. Custom systems integration: If there are any custom systems or requirements, we will register a custom action and hook servers into the pipeline. We can also integrate plugins at any step of the release process.
6. We automate the CI/CD workflows by using AWS CodePipeline. The code is built, tested, and deployed automatically ensuring software is always in a deployable state.
