CI/CD Pipeline

Automated deployment with zero-downtime updates
  1. Code Push → GitHub
  2. CI Build → GitHub Actions
  3. Testing → Unit + Integration
  4. Security Scan → Snyk + Trivy
  5. Build Image → Docker
  6. Push Registry → ECR
  7. Deploy Staging → Kubernetes
  8. Smoke Tests → Automated
  9. Deploy Prod → Blue-Green
  10. Monitor → Observability
Our architecture is designed for institutional-grade performance while maintaining the flexibility to rapidly deploy new features.
