CI‐CD Pipeline

Introduction

This section of the Wiki focuses on creating a robust CI/CD pipeline for the project with GitHub Actions. The objective is to automate build, testing, and deployment procedures so that code changes may be integrated and deployed consistently and reliably. This manual will walk you through the steps of creating the CI/CD pipeline, integrating testing, managing database connections, and guaranteeing flawless deployment via Nginx.

Objectives

• Automate Build, Test, and Deployment Processes: Utilize GitHub Actions to create CI/CD pipelines that handle the build, test, and deployment stages automatically, ensuring that code changes are consistently and reliably integrated and deployed.
• Integrate Messaging Queues: Implement a messaging queue system to facilitate communication between different services within the application. This will improve the application's scalability and reliability.
• Database Setup: Configure separate databases for development and production environments on the same server, ensuring secure and reliable data management.
• Nginx Configuration: Set up Nginx as a reverse proxy to manage incoming traffic and ensure the application is accessible via properly configured domain names.

Goals

• CI/CD Pipeline: Set up automated CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to streamline the development workflow, reduce manual intervention, and ensure consistent deployments.
• Database Setup: Configure separate databases for development and production environments.
• Messaging Queue Integration: Choose and integrate an appropriate messaging queue system that suits the project's requirements.
• Nginx Configuration: Configure Nginx as a reverse proxy to manage incoming traffic.
• Deployment: Deploy the application using the CI/CD pipelines, ensuring high availability and accessibility.
