This project integrates a fully automated CI/CD pipeline designed to ensure efficient building, testing, security scanning, and deployment.
Here’s an overview of the key stages and the additional monitoring tools implemented:
The pipeline retrieves the latest version of the source code from GitHub to ensure it works with the most up-to-date codebase.
The project is cleaned to remove previous build artifacts, then compiled to produce executable binaries.
Unit tests are executed using JUnit and Mockito to ensure the core functionality of the application is correct.
Static code analysis is performed using SonarQube to detect code quality issues, vulnerabilities, and code smells. JaCoCo is integrated to measure test coverage, ensuring the tests adequately cover the application’s code.
The compiled code is packaged into an artifact (e.g., a JAR or WAR) suitable for deployment.
The artifact is uploaded to Nexus for version control and artifact storage, making it easily accessible for deployment or further use.
A Docker image is built from the packaged application to prepare it for containerized deployment.
The Docker image is scanned using Trivy to identify any known vulnerabilities, ensuring that the image is secure before deployment.
The Docker image is pushed to DockerHub, allowing it to be pulled and deployed in various environments.
The application is deployed using Docker Compose, orchestrating multiple containers to run seamlessly together.
After the pipeline execution, an automated email is sent, containing:
- The Trivy vulnerability scan report.
- A summary of the pipeline’s success or failure for each stage.
These tools are integrated to monitor the application’s performance and visualize metrics, providing real-time insights into the health and stability of the system.
This automated pipeline ensures high-quality code, secure builds, and streamlined deployments, while providing robust monitoring and feedback through SonarQube, Prometheus, and Grafana. The pipeline also leverages Docker for containerized deployments, Trivy for vulnerability scanning, and Nexus for artifact management, ensuring a fully integrated, secure, and scalable CI/CD workflow. This combination of tools enables efficient development, testing, and deployment processes while maintaining high standards of security and performance monitoring.
