Project Overview
This project aims to fully automate the secure deployment of containerized web applications in a production environment. It leverages a complete suite of DevOps tools, combining Docker, GitHub Actions for CI/CD, and Ansible/Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
The pipeline automates Docker image builds, vulnerability scanning (using Trivy), and zero-downtime blue-green deployments to secure remote servers.
Technical Details
Technologies Used
Project Duration
5 months (February - June 2023)
Challenges and Solutions
The main challenges tackled during the project include:
- Configuring multi-stage Docker builds to reduce final image size and minimize vulnerability attack vectors.
- Integrating automated security scans (DAST/SAST) that block deployments when critical vulnerabilities are found.
- Orchestrating deployments dynamically through automated Nginx reverse proxy configuration updates.
Code Examples
Secure Multi-stage Dockerfile
# Build stage
FROM node:18-alpine AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci
COPY . .
RUN npm run build
# Production stage
FROM node:18-alpine
WORKDIR /app
ENV NODE_ENV=production
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci --only=production
COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist
USER node
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["node", "dist/index.js"]Highly optimized multi-stage Dockerfile reducing footprint and protecting container running spaces.
