Our Deployment Process

Every code change goes through a rigorous, multi-stage pipeline before it touches your live site. Here's exactly how we keep your store fast, secure, and always available.

  • Zero Untested code to production
  • 90% Faster asset compilation
  • 300% Core Web Vitals improvement
  • Minutes Typical maintenance window

A Deployment Process Built Around Your Uptime

Most agencies deploy Magento manually or with basic scripts. We built a proprietary CI/CD pipeline that eliminates human error, enforces security standards automatically, and optimises every asset on every deployment.

The result is a leaner, faster, more secure store - and a development team that spends less time firefighting and more time delivering value.

  • No untested code ever reaches your live site
  • Security settings enforced automatically at every deployment
  • Performance assets compiled and optimised on every build
  • Post-deployment health checks run automatically

Magento 2 as a Managed Service

Our pipeline effectively turns Magento 2 into a managed service. Every store we run benefits from the same enterprise-grade deployment infrastructure, regardless of project size. Combined with dedicated managed hosting, it's a complete, controlled environment from code commit to live deployment.

Requires: dedicated managed hosting recommended by Interjar and our proprietary deployment process.

Dual-Pipeline Architecture

Two separate pipelines work together to ensure quality code reaches your store safely and efficiently.

Merge Request Pipeline

Every code change is tested in isolation before it can merge. This pipeline runs the full quality suite and blocks faulty code from reaching the master branch, so development work is never disrupted by unstable updates.

  • Automated quality checks (SCSS, JS, Composer)
  • Tested against a fresh copy of the database
  • Failures block the merge, not the rest of the team
  • Quality reports delivered to developers instantly

Master Branch Pipeline

Once code passes all tests, the master pipeline compiles, optimises, and delivers assets to staging automatically. A manual approval step gates every production deployment, so nothing goes live without human sign-off.

  • Full asset compilation and optimisation
  • Automatic deployment to staging environment
  • Manual approval required before production
  • Post-deployment health checks run automatically

The Five Stages of Every Deployment

Each stage serves a specific purpose - together they ensure every release is safe, fast, and fully tested.

  • 1. Code Quality

    Frontend assets are automatically reviewed for code standards. SCSS, JavaScript, and Composer configuration are all validated, and any critical breaking change halts the pipeline before it can cause problems downstream.

    • SCSS and JavaScript linting
    • Composer dependency validation
    • Browser compatibility checks
    Merge Request pipelines only
  • 2. Composition

    The entire codebase is regenerated from scratch on every build, eliminating stale files and reducing the attack surface. New packages are tested against the existing database configuration to prevent deployment errors before they reach staging.

    • Fresh codebase on every build, no stale files
    • Package upgrades tested against current database structure
    • Up to 90% faster language asset compilation on multisite setups
  • 3. Optimisation

    JavaScript is combined and compressed into single files per page type (common, category, product, and checkout), reducing data transfer and improving Time to Interactive. CSS is optimised to defer non-essential assets, ensuring a fast first paint even on slower connections.

    • JS bundled per page type, reducing network requests
    • CSS deferral improves perceived load speed
    • Up to 300% Core Web Vitals improvement on standard Magento stores
  • 4. Deployment

    Minimal data transfer reduces server load and speeds up the deployment itself. Redis, CDN, caching, and database settings are auto-configured per environment. Each deployment runs against an isolated, dedicated codebase, making it fast to identify and fix any issues that arise.

    • Best practice security settings enforced automatically
    • Isolated codebase per deployment for faster debugging
    • Maintenance window kept to an absolute minimum
  • 5. Post-Deployment Testing

    After every deployment, automated health checks test the most critical pages and user journeys. Deployment markers are pushed to monitoring systems so any subsequent errors can be immediately tied to a specific release.

    • Critical pages verified after every release
    • Deployment events tracked in Sentry and New Relic
    • Issues caught before customers encounter them
  • What This Means for Your Store

    You get the benefits without the complexity. Faster load times, fewer outages, a smaller security footprint, and developers who spend their time building features rather than untangling broken deployments.

    • Fewer outages, rigorous testing at every stage
    • Faster performance, optimised assets on every build
    • Enhanced security, automated checks and fresh codebases

Why Our Pipeline Approach Matters

  • Security by Default

    The codebase is rebuilt from scratch on every deployment. Security configurations are enforced at the pipeline level, not left to manual admin tasks, so critical settings can't be accidentally altered.

  • Performance Built In

    Asset bundling, JS compression, and CSS deferral happen automatically on every build. Your store's Core Web Vitals don't depend on someone remembering to run an optimisation step.

  • Developer Productivity

    Automated quality checks, deployment markers, and detailed build reports mean less time debugging and more time delivering the features your business needs. Parallel pipelines mean one team's work never blocks another's.
