Loyalie is a startup providing a suite of loyalty solutions specific to the real estate sector used by top developers to manage customer and channel partner loyalty. In fact, 5 of India’s 15 largest real estate builders, including Mahindra Lifespaces, Godrej Properties, Tata Housing, and the Lodha Group, use Loyalie. As adoption grew, Loyalie wanted to put its engineering on a more scalable footing - automating builds and deployments through a modern CI/CD pipeline, introducing containerization for consistent environments, and establishing disciplined code reviews and coding standards. The goal was to ship new releases faster and more reliably while raising overall code quality across its Java Spring Boot and Angular stack.
Loyalie’s platform was already in active use by major developers, but its release process hadn’t kept pace with its growth. Deployments were entirely manual, code quality depended on individual discipline rather than a shared process, and the team wanted both addressed before scaling further.
Every release was deployed by hand, and each one introduced significant downtime for a platform relied on by large real estate developers. The process was slow, error-prone, and difficult to repeat reliably.
There was no pipeline to automate application builds or packaging. Without containerization, environments drifted and releases were inconsistent across dev and production.
Code was committed without a mandatory review step or enforced coding standards, leaving quality dependent on individual developers rather than a consistent, repeatable process.
Standing up the review and build tooling surfaced real obstacles - configuring Review Board scripts and hooks consistently across multiple environments, and stopping Jenkins from misfiring duplicate builds on a single commit.
Focaloid implemented an end-to-end CI/CD and code-review workflow across Loyalie’s Spring Boot and Angular applications automating builds, introducing Docker-based packaging, and enforcing peer review on every commit.
Installed and configured Review Board so that on every code commit, the change is automatically shared for review and only approved after that review. Review was enforced on all Spring Boot application commits.
Dockerized both the Spring Boot backend and the Angular frontend, giving the team consistent, reproducible environments from development through production.
Implemented DevOps integration using Jenkins to build Docker images for both applications automatically on commit, replacing the manual build-and-deploy process.
Configured Jenkins so commits to the dev branch push the Docker image straight to the dev server, while commits to the release branch are tagged and saved to Docker Hub giving the team a clean, predictable promotion path.
Focaloid worked alongside Loyalie’s engineering team to design and roll out the pipeline in structured phases, validating each piece before moving on.
Phase 1: Architecture & Tooling Design
Assessed the existing Spring Boot and Angular stack and designed the target CI/CD architecture - selecting Review Board for code review, Jenkins for build automation, and Docker for packaging.
Phase 2: Code Review Enforcement
Installed and configured Review Board, wiring commit hooks so every Spring Boot commit is sent for review and approved before merge - overcoming the complexity of configuring hooks consistently across multiple environments.
Phase 3: Containerization & Build Automation
Dockerized both applications and set up Jenkins to build images automatically on commit, resolving early issues with Jenkins misfiring multiple builds per commit.
Phase 4: Branch-Based Deployment & Testing
Implemented the dev/release branch strategy - automatic push to the dev server for dev commits, tagged images saved to Docker Hub for release commits - then tested the full pipeline end to end.
For a loyalty platform trusted by some of India’s largest real estate developers, every release touches programs that thousands of customers and channel partners depend on. Manual, downtime-heavy deployments don’t just slow the engineering team- they risk disrupting live loyalty programs and eroding the trust of enterprise clients. By automating builds, containerizing the applications, and enforcing disciplined code review, Focaloid turned Loyalie’s fragile release process into a fast, repeatable, and reliable one. That foundation lets Loyalie ship with confidence and scale the platform without its delivery process becoming the bottleneck.
We help SaaS and product teams turn slow, manual releases into automated, reliable CI/CD pipelines with containerization, code-review discipline, and quality gates built in.
