In his previous role as a Senior Software Engineer at Capillary, Ambar built a CI and CD platform on top of Terraform and Kubernetes to deploy the product stack consisting of infrastructure components and applications onto multiple cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. This deployment automation facilitated daily or on-demand production deployments as opposed to bi-weekly releases, resulting in a 900% increase in deployment frequency. He also implemented auto-rollback of production deployments in case of test failures, which helped in catching 18 such instances in 6 months.
