This framework enabled proactive code testing by developers and QA, safeguarding staging environments, and resulting
in early bug detection and stakeholder feedback aggregation, significantly enhancing developer efficiency and
improving release processes.
Developed Helm charts to orchestrate infrastructure components, including pods, services, and ingress during
microservice deployments on AWS EKS. Additionally, Used Helm charts to set up various other components such as
ingress-nginx, aws-load-balancer-controller, efs-provisioner, external-dns, and more on the EKS platform.
