Our team designed/implemented multiple development/release life cycles over 20+ years; including HMRC’s Knowledge Hub:
-Analysis conducted discovery creating user journeys/personas; including migrating existing data.
-Design identified database/user interface requirements; iteratively designed based on regular user feedback.
-TDD/Development defined automated testing framework using SOAPUI/Jmeter/Groovy/Xspec/SonarQube to test core product/interfaces. Developed code to Extract/Transform/Load; leveraging JUnit/Mockito for unit testing.
-CI/CD Designed/implemented Jenkins pipelines; advancing code/artefacts through build/deploy/test process; leveraging GIR/Artifactory/Ansible/YAML.
-Blue/Green Deployment reducing risk during upgrades, automated regression testing/path for failures. Parallel hot fix path for emergency fixes.
-Backups scheduled, data backed up nightly; replicated and stored in AWS S3 bucket.
-The database now holds content (knowledge) dozens of node types and tens of thousands of nodes and relationships; linking a large number of different domains into a single source of truth.
