Pipeline Overview

# Example GitHub Actions Workflow
name: Deploy [Application Name]
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Setup [Technology]
        uses: [setup-action]
        with:
          [technology-version]: '[version]'
      
      - name: Install Dependencies
        run: [install-command]
      
      - name: Run Tests
        run: [test-command]
      
      - name: Security Scan
        run: [security-scan-command]
      
      - name: Build Application
        run: [build-command]
      
      - name: Deploy to Staging
        if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
        run: [deploy-staging-command]
      
      - name: Integration Tests
        run: [integration-test-command]
      
      - name: Deploy to Production
        if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
        run: [deploy-production-command]

Pipeline Stages

1. Source Control: [Source control integration details]
2. Build: [Build process and artifacts]
3. Test: [Testing strategy and coverage]
4. Security: [Security scanning and validation]
5. Deploy: [Deployment strategy and rollback]

Quality Gates

• Unit tests pass (minimum 80% coverage)
• Integration tests pass
• Security scan passes (no high/critical vulnerabilities)
• Performance tests meet SLA requirements
• Manual approval for production deployment

Infrastructure as Code

terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.0"
  required_providers {
    [provider] = {
      source  = "[provider-source]"
      version = "~> [version]"
    }
  }
}

provider "[provider]" {
  region = var.region
}

resource "[resource-type]" "[resource-name]" {
  [configuration-parameters]
}
