summary

Wag moves from clicks to code by running self-hosted GitLab on AWS with GitLab CI, Terraform and ECR-backed containers; nightly base images built with Packer/Ansible and pushed to ECR enable identical dev/staging/prod. Deployments use ECS with canary + blue/green via HAProxy, auto-scaling GitLab runners cut CI bottlenecks, and Terraform state centralizes in S3/DynamoDB with a CI pipeline that saves a plan and requires a manual apply. Result: release time falls from 40 to 6 minutes and monthly infra costs drop ~60–75%.
