CICD automation's impact on microservices project management

Abstract

This thesis topic will focus on the impact of Continuous Intergration/ Continuous Deployment automation on the management of microservices architectures. Due to the implementation of microservices, the traditional approaches cannot be used singularly since each of the projects has become complex. As a result, this paper seeks to examine how the CI/CD pipeline automation can improve the basic aspects of project management including resource management, monitoring, risk management, and teamwork. In particular, it specifies how it augments visibility, resource utilization, risk mitigation with early detection, or reduces time-to-market by efficient deployment. The findings are useful to business stakeholders including project managers, DevOps professionals, software developers, IT leaders, and educational institutions in integrating CI/CD pipelines to improve project outcomes. Combining literature review, hands-on work, case study evaluation and theoretical framework, this thesis outlines the best practices to improve CI/CD automation in microservices project management. The outcomes advance the knowledge base about how the automation of the development process may improve productivity and cooperation in microservices initiatives.
