The Challenge
The same Business Central extensions had to ship to several regions and environments, but releases were manual — builds done by hand, versions drifting between regions, and every production deploy a nervous, error-prone event.
Running Business Central across multiple regions multiplies the risk of every release. When builds are assembled by hand and promoted manually, environments drift out of sync, the wrong version reaches production, and each deploy becomes a late-night, hold-your-breath event.
What we built
We built an AL-first CI/CD pipeline on Azure DevOps that treats Business Central extensions like real software. Builds are automated, promotion through UAT is controlled, and production releases follow the same repeatable path across every region.
How it works
- Automated AL builds triggered from source control on every change
- Controlled promotion from development through UAT to production
- Consistent, versioned releases across all regions and environments
- Repeatable, auditable deploys that remove manual guesswork
A release should be boring. The whole point of the pipeline is that shipping to five regions feels exactly like shipping to one.
