 ## Challenges
-We successfully built a functional CD pipeline. In the end, we took over the
-deployment process from the government. That allowed us to survive into an
-unstable political scenario. However, we recognize that many challenges still

 Taking on CD responsibilities had a significant impact on the team. We did not
 have the know-how and had little time to come up with a working pipeline. The
-seniors were crucial at this point. They came up with an initial solution to
-get us started. That already enabled us to automatize the deploy, even though
-the process was still rudimentary. We had to evolve our solution on-the-fly. We
-dedicated a few developers to this task.
