GitLab CI Configuration

This directory contains GitLab CI/CD pipeline configuration.

Setup

1. Copy .gitlab-ci.yml to your GitLab repository root:

   cp gitlab-ci/.gitlab-ci.yml ../../.gitlab-ci.yml

2. Configure CI/CD Variables (Settings > CI/CD > Variables):

   • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
   • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
   • AWS_ACCOUNT_ID
   • AWS_REGION
   • KUBECONFIG (base64 encoded, for Kubernetes deployment)

3. Ensure GitLab Runners are available (shared runners or project-specific)

Pipeline Stages

1. Test: Unit and integration tests
2. Build: Docker image build and push to ECR
3. Security: Vulnerability scanning with Trivy
4. Deploy: Deployment to staging (automatic) and production (manual)

Usage

• Pipeline runs automatically on push to main or develop
• Production deployment requires manual approval
• Test results and coverage are available in GitLab UI

Customization

Edit .gitlab-ci.yml to:

• Add additional stages
• Modify runner tags
• Change deployment conditions
• Add notification jobs
