After EDB acquired 2ndQuadrant, I had a pivotal role in the process of merging the software delivery infrastructures of both companies.Thanks to my previous job as Continuous Delivery manager, I worked on unifying and standardising how software is built in EDB, designing and developing a cloud continuous delivery framework based on GitHub actions, AWS and Cloudsmith as packages distribution platform.The result is a fully automated pipeline that builds and publishes packages for all supported platforms (RHEL, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, SLES, Windows, macOS) and architectures (x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, s390x) for all EDB products.I've been a primary player in the process of migrating all the products to the new system, and I've engineered the structure of the new repositories.I'm still an active contributor to the open-source project Barman.

At 2ndQuadrant, we had multiple products, all with different build requirements. The process of building packages for testing and release purposes spanned multiple days, and uploading the packages to a repository that the customer could access was not automated, ad-hoc and error-prone. I developed a Continuous Delivery framework based on Jenkins that standardized the package building process, accommodating the diverse build and testing requirements for the various products on all supported distributions, and provided a secure automated package signing and publishing mechanism. This system served all the 2ndQuadrant development teams, most of whom were not familiar with CI/CD practices. The CI/CD framework enabled 2ndQuadrant to reduce the release process from days to hours, ensuring a high degree of quality and timely delivered software products
