[RFC] : CI/CD implementation

Closed this issue · 1 comments

The objective of this RFC is to enhance our existing Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) process by integrating an RDS-bot to notify the team when release builds are generated and to automate the deployment of the main branch upon code merge.

Our current CI/CD process involves automated building, testing, and deployment of code changes. However, there is a need to improve visibility and streamline the release notification process. Additionally, automating deployments upon code merge can save time and reduce the risk of human error.

Proposed Changes

Integration of RDS-bot for Release Notifications:

Implement an RDS-bot that can send notifications to a specified channel when a release build is generated.
Configure the RDS-bot to include essential information in the notification, such as the release version, build status, and a link to the release notes.
Automated Deployment upon Code Merge:

Configure the CI/CD pipeline to automatically trigger deployments to the production environment upon successful code merge into the main branch.
Ensure that the deployment process includes appropriate checks and balances to prevent accidental or unauthorized deployments.

Implementation Steps

  1. Identify or create an RDS-bot suitable for integration with our CI/CD system.
  2. Develop or configure scripts and processes to enable the RDS-bot to send release notifications.
  3. Integrate the RDS-bot with our CI/CD pipeline.
  4. Modify the CI/CD pipeline configuration to include automated deployments upon code merge.
  5. Test the entire CI/CD process with the new enhancements in a staging environment.
  6. Document the updated CI/CD process, including instructions for configuring the RDS-bot and modifying pipeline settings.
  7. Communicate the changes and provide training to the team on the new release notification process and automated deployments.

Expected Benefits

  1. Improved visibility and communication within the team regarding release builds.
  2. Reduced manual intervention and faster deployments with automated code merge-based deployments.
  3. Enhanced collaboration and awareness of release status.
