Pipeline de implantação para automatizar a entrega de software na Prefeitura Municipal de Sobral (PMS) - Um estudo de caso

Abstract

The manual delivery of software, still predominant in many organizations, results in long lead times, increased risks, and a high propensity for errors, directly impacting the efficiency and quality of the deployed systems. At the Municipality of Sobral (PMS), an opportunity was identified to improve the development and deployment processes, aiming for greater efficiency and reliability. This work presents the design and implementation of an automated deployment pipeline, based on Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) practices, as a strategy to transform the institution’s software delivery cycle. Through a case study, with data collected before and after the implementation, the impacts of the proposed solution were analyzed, focusing on efficiency, quality, and team coordination. The results show significant improvements in agility, error reduction, and greater reliability in the software delivery process, highlighting the importance of automation and the DevOps culture in the public sector context.
