Moogsoft: Continuous Delivery for Cloud
Role: Senior Director of Engineering
Overview: CI/CD automation end-to-end
Situation: Moogsoft’s traditional release cycle was approximately every 6 months, which was too slow for a competitive SaaS product. A much faster, more reliable, and automated delivery pipeline was needed to enable rapid iteration and deployment.
Task: To design and implement a comprehensive Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline that would automate artifact builds, testing, validation, and promotion of code, enabling multiple daily releases with confidence.
Action:
- Led the initiative to automate the entire software delivery lifecycle, from code commit to production deployment.
- Implemented robust testing and validation stages within the pipeline to ensure code quality and stability.
- Leveraged a suite of tools to build, test, and deploy artifacts.
- Collaborated with development and SRE teams to ensure smooth adoption and operation of the new CI/CD process. Click here to find out more and Props to Josh for his awesome work

Result: The company was able to go from a typical release occurring once every 6 months to having the ability to release multiple times daily in our new SaaS product by automating end to end artifict builds with testing and validation to promote code with confidence.
Context: This transformation of the software delivery process was fundamental to Moogsoft’s success as a SaaS provider. It enabled greater agility, faster feature delivery, and quicker response to customer feedback, which are critical in the fast-paced cloud market.
