Combining the efficient practices of continuous integration (CI) and continuous development or deployment (CD), IT businesses get to achieve a very fruitful synchronization of development processes with DevOps activities. Intuitive management of CI/CD tasks and activities, however, requires a specialized, convenient interface. That is exactly what we set out to create for our client.

Client information

ApexSQL is a leading provider of most various SQL Server tools. Working with such names as Microsoft, Intel, Bank of America, NASA, and many others, this powerhouse IT company governed by Quest is a well-known market player in the profiled niche of SQL Server capabilities.

Business challenge

In the fiercely competitive market of IT, a business must be sturdy and stable to make it in the harsh, ever-changing conditions. The in-house workflow must constantly evolve and the underlying systems and tools must be continuously updated. CI/CD-powered workflows help establish a reliable workflow free of errors and hindering flaws.

Technical challenges

The main task was to create a standalone web CI/CD dashboard that enables responsible specialists to set up, configure, and execute CI/CD workflow pipelines that can be either initiated manually or scheduled for initialization. The solution also had to be self-hosted on the OWIN-based hosting and go through the full cycle of software development – from requirements analysis and coding to unit testing and bug fixing.

Solution delivered

A new CI/CD Dashboard for ApexSQL is a single-page CI/CD management interface that works right in the browser and offers wide capabilities: drag & drop controls, asynchronous control loading, user authentication, layout exporting and saving, as well as customizable themes.
