Building a Robust On-Prem CI/CD Pipeline

?? Excited to share my recent work on an initial stage CI/CD pipeline project that leverages on-premises infrastructure to streamline the development and delivery process for our applications! ?????

Our pipeline is designed to ensure continuous integration and delivery, making our workflow more efficient, secure, and reliable. Here’s an overview of the architecture:

1?? Development Phase:

• Code is fetched from GitHub, followed by a series of automated checks: ?? Unit testing with Pytest ?? Linting for code quality ?? Security scanning using Bandit ?? Comprehensive test execution

2?? Quality Assurance (Staging):

• Integrated with SonarQube for static code analysis and to maintain code quality.
• Builds are generated, with an approval workflow for pushing Docker images to our private Docker Hub repository.

3?? Staging and UAT Environments:

• Automated deployments to staging after approval, ensuring seamless testing by the QA team.
• Deployments to UAT follow a similar workflow, enabling our business stakeholders to review the application.

4?? Kubernetes Deployment:

• Finally, the application is deployed to our on-prem Kubernetes cluster for testing and validation before production.

?? Key Highlights:

• Full automation of the CI/CD process with Jenkins as the backbone.
• Ensured quality at every step with robust testing and approvals.
• Leveraged on-prem infrastructure to maintain control and security.

This project not only enhanced our deployment efficiency but also ensured that each release met the highest standards of quality and security.

I’m immensely proud to have worked on this initiative with my team, and I’d love to hear your thoughts or feedback. Have you implemented something similar in your organization? Let’s connect and discuss! ??
