Platform Architecture & Multi-Site Deployment
Building the Justine Longla T. engineering ecosystem as a resilient, observable, and automation-friendly platform — not just a collection of separate sites.
Pipelines as the backbone
Each site has its own pipeline, but they share conventions for testing, assets, and release tagging — making changes safe to roll out and easy to roll back.
Role
Platform Engineer · System Designer
Tech Stack
GitHub Actions, Vercel, GitHub Pages, PowerShell automation, release tagging, environment-specific configs
Highlights
Independent releases · Consistent routing · Versioned brochure and assets · Automated backups
Overview
After the initial ecosystem redesign, the next step was to harden the underlying platform: how sites build, where assets live, and how we manage failures and rollbacks.
The goal was a platform that feels simple on the surface — click “deploy” and trust it — but hides strong engineering foundations underneath.
Deployment architecture
Core ideas:
- Per-site pipelines with shared templates (lint, test, build, deploy).
- Release tagging so every major change to branding or copy has a traceable version.
- Static assets (hero images, brochure PDFs) published once and referenced across sites via predictable paths.
Impact
Multi-site releases now feel deliberate instead of risky. If a change misbehaves, it is easy to roll back to a known tag. New microsites can plug into the same patterns without reinventing CI/CD or routing.
