Phase 8 — CI/CD & K8s
🏷️ Domain Focus
Primary: 🔧 Infrastructure - CI/CD and Kubernetes deployment
Multi-Domain Deployment: 🏪 eCommerce, 💬 Chat, 🏭 IoT, 📱 Social, 🧠 ML/AI
Protocol Focus: 🌐 GraphQL Federation, 🔄 JSON-RPC, 🚀 Production protocols
Epic Integration: CI/CD Pipeline (15 Story Points)
Epic Objective: Implement continuous integration and deployment pipeline for automated testing and deployment
Success Criteria: GitHub Actions workflow for automated builds, automated testing (unit, integration, security), container image building and publishing, deployment automation to Kubernetes, environment promotion pipeline
Objectives
- Build/test pipelines; images; deploy to dev namespace; smoke tests
- Implement advanced API patterns (GraphQL, JSON-RPC) in production deployment
- Establish cloud-native deployment patterns with protocol diversity
Deliverables
- CI workflows; Dockerfiles; k8s manifests
- GraphQL federation gateway and JSON-RPC service implementations
- Multi-protocol service mesh configuration
Tasks (acceptance)
1) Build & test pipelines with Protocol Testing (Story Points: 8)
- [ ] Build changed modules; run tests on PR; publish docs artifact
- [ ] GraphQL Protocol Lab: Implement federated schema and gateway
- Design GraphQL schemas with federation directives
- Build GraphQL gateway aggregating multiple microservices
- Add subscription support for real-time updates
- Performance test vs REST equivalents
- [ ] Files: .github/workflows/build.yml, .github/workflows/test.yml
- [ ] Acceptance: Automated build and test pipeline
2) Images & SBOM with Advanced Protocols (Story Points: 7)
- [ ] Dockerfiles per service; generate SBOM in CI
- [ ] JSON-RPC Protocol Lab: Implement batch operations and notifications
- Create JSON-RPC 2.0 compliant service endpoints
- Implement batch request processing
- Add WebSocket transport for JSON-RPC over persistent connections
- Compare with GraphQL for bulk operations
- [ ] Files: Dockerfile per service, SBOM generation step
- [ ] Acceptance: Images build; SBOM attached/artifacts uploaded
3) K8s deploy with Multi-Protocol Support
- [ ] Dev namespace deploy; smoke tests
- [ ] Protocol Gateway Configuration: Route traffic based on protocol type
- [ ] Service Mesh Integration: Configure Istio/Envoy for multi-protocol support
- [ ] End-to-end Protocol Testing: Validate all 9 protocols work in K8s environment
- [ ] Path: k8s/
- [ ] Acceptance: Dev namespace deploy job; smoke tests pass
