Metrics
- Lead time for changes reduced from ~2 days to ~6 hours.
- Deployment duration reduced from ~45 minutes to ~18 minutes (≈60% faster).
- Release rollback rate decreased from ~10% to ~3% after quality gates.
Suggested validation sources: GitHub Actions run history, deployment logs, change reviews.
Lessons Learned
- Reusable workflows reduce duplication and maintenance overhead.
- Manual approvals protect critical services during peak hours.
- Documentation and templates accelerate adoption.
