Overview
Key Features
- Bitbucket Pipelines: Implemented automated CI/CD pipelines to build, test, and deploy to AWS using AWS CLI and Bitbucket SDKs. Every commit now triggers automated builds and deployments.
- Build Automation: Created OS-agnostic build scripts (build.sh) that automate building the entire project and starting each server with a single command. Previously, each developer manually built each part of the project — this has been fully automated.
- Pipeline Parallelization: Parallelized the build pipeline, effectively dropping build minutes from 60 minutes to 10 minutes, significantly improving developer feedback loops.
- Angular Migration Build Fixes: Fixed the internal testing pipeline after migrating from Angular 13 to 17 and Webpack to esbuild, resolving issues that were hidden due to previously slow page rendering.
- Pre-initialize Hooks: Added version validation hooks throughout the application — the app checks whether the version to be served is valid, and hard refreshes if not. On Android, it prompts users to update through the Google Play Store.
