Context

When Digital Health Outcomes started building their React Native mobile app, Amoniac was involved from the very beginning — contributing to early-stage development and, crucially, setting up the full delivery infrastructure from day one. The philosophy was simple: automated, reliable shipping isn’t something you add later. It’s how you build from the start.

What We Did

Amoniac designed and built the complete CI/CD pipeline alongside the app itself — so the team could ship to testers and stakeholders from the earliest stages of development.

We set up GitHub Actions for automated iOS and Android builds in parallel. To handle the resource-intensive nature of iOS builds without the cost of GitHub-hosted macOS runners, we deployed a self-hosted runner on a Mac Mini — fully utilizing all available CPU cores and cutting build times significantly.

The release process was automated end-to-end: test builds are distributed automatically for QA and stakeholder review, while production releases are pushed directly to the App Store and Google Play without manual steps. The backend was packaged with Helm and wired into the same automated deployment flow.

As the app has matured, we’ve stayed close — occasionally stepping in when store policy changes affect automated release flows.

Results

From the first commit, the team had a fast and reliable path to ship — builds running in under 6 minutes, test versions distributed automatically, and production releases going out to both stores without touching a button.

From the very first build, everything just worked. Releases to both stores were automated before we even had our first external users — that’s the right way to build a product.

From Manual to Automated: Full Kubernetes Migration

As Digital Health Outcomes scaled their client base, they needed a fast, repeatable way to deploy to isolated environments. We built the full infrastructure foundation — Docker, Terraform, EKS, Helm — so any new deployment is a single script away.
