Comprehensive CI/CD & SCM Platform Support

TechNerds provides end-to-end managed services for GitLab, Jenkins, and ArgoCD platforms. We ensure your continuous integration and delivery pipelines are reliable, secure, and optimized for enterprise application delivery workflows.

Our CI/CD services cover the complete software delivery lifecycle—from source code management and access control through build automation, testing, and GitOps-based deployment. We specialize in making CI/CD platforms production-ready for enterprise environments with audit trails, security controls, and SLA-driven support.

Core Platforms: GitLab, Jenkins, ArgoCD

We support the most widely adopted enterprise CI/CD platforms, with deep expertise in GitLab for SCM, Jenkins for CI orchestration, and ArgoCD for GitOps-based continuous delivery.
