One of the Well-Architected best practices is to allow your teams to make frequent, small and reversible changes to applications and, your company is struggling with lack of agility to publish new applications versions as its current build and deploy process is not automatic. You are in charge of bringing and implementing the solution to allow development teams to move faster.
