Description

We will implement a DevOps pipeline around Conduit, an open-source application using React, Express, and PostgreSQL. The pipeline will include:

• CI: GitHub Actions for builds, linting, unit tests, and integration tests with a temporary PostgreSQL database on pull requests and pushes to main.
• CD: GitHub Actions for publishing commit-tagged Docker images to GitHub Container Registry after checks pass on main, then running the published image with PostgreSQL on a temporary GitHub-hosted runner for automated smoke tests.
• IaC: Docker Compose for reproducible application and database environments, used for deployment verification in CI and local deployment.
• Platform: GitHub with branch protection, required status checks, and pull-request reviews.
• Security: npm audit for dependency vulnerability checks and Dependabot for dependency updates.
• AI tools: Codex for assistance with configuration, debugging, and tests, with its use and our verification of suggestions documented.

Relevance

This project integrates testing, security checks, infrastructure configuration, and continuous delivery into a reproducible workflow for an existing web application.
