Abstract

This review paper investigates the adoption of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) in developing autism-centered remote engineering environments, emphasizing the integration of secure continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines and containerized microservices. As neurodiverse teams gain visibility in distributed software development, it becomes imperative to create adaptive frameworks that support inclusive engineering workflows. SAFe provides a robust structure for aligning cross-functional teams across agile release trains while maintaining regulatory and security standards essential for remote development. This paper explores how the framework can be tailored to accommodate the cognitive diversity of autistic professionals, incorporating elements such as clear workflow visualization, asynchronous communication support, and low-stimulation virtual workspaces. Additionally, the paper evaluates best practices for embedding security into CI/CD pipelines using DevSecOps principles, ensuring code integrity and compliance throughout development cycles. The use of containerized microservices is analyzed for its role in modular design, fault isolation, and scalable deployment in autism-supportive remote systems. Drawing on case studies, architectural patterns, and compliance frameworks, this review highlights how a convergence of SAFe, secure DevOps, and containerization can foster resilient, accessible, and neurodiverse-friendly remote engineering ecosystems.
