End-to-End CI/CD Pipeline Implementation for Web Application
Project Summary:
This project involved implementing a full CI/CD pipeline for a web application, from initial code changes to final deployment. The goal was to create an automated, hands-off pipeline that would test and deploy the application to a production environment with every code change.
Problem & Solution:
Problem: The client was facing a slow and error-prone manual deployment process. Releases were inconsistent, and there was no centralized system for testing and monitoring, leading to frequent production issues and reduced team productivity.
Solution: I designed and implemented a robust CI/CD pipeline that fully automates the software delivery lifecycle. This solution eliminated manual errors, reduced deployment time by 80%, and provided real-time visibility into the application's health.
Methodology & Tools:
- GitFlow: Used GitFlow branching strategy for a structured and predictable release process.
- CI/CD Tooling: Configured GitLab CI/CD to automate build, test, and deployment stages.
- Containerization: Wrote Dockerfiles to create consistent application environments and used Docker Hub as the container registry.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Used Terraform to provision and manage cloud resources for staging and production environments, ensuring repeatability and consistency.
- Orchestration: Implemented Docker Compose for a simple multi-service setup in the staging environment and used Kubernetes for scalable and resilient deployment in production.
- Monitoring & Logging: Integrated Prometheus for performance monitoring and Grafana for creating comprehensive dashboards. Set up Loki for centralized log aggregation from all services.
