How a FinTech Payments Platform Went from Weekly Deploys to 12x Daily Releases

A growing payments startup was shipping once a week. Every deploy was a war room. We changed that - completely.

The Problem

Weekly Deploys. War Rooms. Fear.

The payments platform was shipping once a week - every deployment required a war room, manual testing, and dedicated weekend work. Developer morale was low, releases were feared, and business agility was impossible.

Test coverage sat at 34%. Any failure meant hours of rollback. The team was trapped in a cycle of reactive firefighting rather than building the product.

1 deploy per week, manually
34% test coverage
Hours to rollback on failure
Weekend war rooms required

What We Built

A Complete CI/CD Rebuild - From the Ground Up

Crecita rebuilt the entire CI/CD pipeline from scratch, replacing fragile manual processes with automated, declarative, production-grade delivery infrastructure.

GitHub Actions pipelines with automated test gates
Containerised microservices with Docker and Kubernetes (EKS)
GitOps workflow using ArgoCD for declarative deployments
Helm charts for consistent, version-controlled releases
Terraform for reproducible infrastructure provisioning
Automated test coverage: 34% → 91%

Pipeline Flow
git push → GitHub Actions
↳ Unit + integration tests
↳ Security scan (Trivy)
↳ Docker build + push
ArgoCD sync (GitOps)
↳ Helm chart apply (EKS)
↳ Smoke tests
Total: 8 minutes end-to-end

GitHub Actions Docker Kubernetes (EKS) ArgoCD Helm Terraform

The Results

Shipping Became a Non-Event

What was once the most stressful day of the week became a background process. The team now focuses on building - not deploying.

Team now ships to production 12 times per day - zero manual intervention required
Rollback takes under 60 seconds - any incident is contained before it becomes a crisis
Test coverage rose from 34% to 91% - catching bugs before they ever reach production
Developer confidence and morale transformed - engineers are now proud to ship
Business can respond to market changes same-day - agility is now a competitive advantage
