Examples

Example 1: GitHub Actions Pipeline

Input:

Project: Node.js API
Tests: Jest
Build: npm build
Deploy: AWS ECS

Expected Output:

name: CI/CD Pipeline

on:
  push:
    branches: [main, develop]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: '18'
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm run lint
      - run: npm test
      - run: npm run test:coverage

  build:
    needs: test
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm run build
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
        with:
          name: build-artifacts
          path: dist/

  deploy:
    needs: build
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
    steps:
      - uses: actions/download-artifact@v3
        with:
          name: build-artifacts
      - name: Deploy to ECS
        run: |
          # Deployment steps

Best Practices

• •Fast Feedback: Keep pipeline fast for quick feedback
• •Fail Fast: Stop pipeline early on failures
• •Parallel Execution: Run independent stages in parallel
• •Caching: Cache dependencies to speed up builds
• •Security: Scan for vulnerabilities and secrets
• •Documentation: Document pipeline and requirements
