Fully Automated Magento Updates

Zero-touch Magento core and module updates using Dependabot, automated E2E testing, and continuous deployment - enabling non-technical teams to manage security patches independently.

Fully automated system for Magento core and module updates that eliminates developer bottlenecks from routine maintenance. Dependencies are automatically detected, tested, and deployed with QA validation—enabling non-technical teams to manage updates independently.

Problem

Manual Magento updates consumed 2-4 developer hours per update, created deployment bottlenecks, and delayed critical security patches by weeks. Updates were treated as risky events requiring significant developer time, making consistent maintenance impractical across multiple projects.

⚠️

Security patches delayed by weeks due to developer bottlenecks—leaving stores vulnerable to known exploits for extended periods.
