## CI/CD Pipeline Design

### Standard Pipeline Stages

```yaml
# .github/workflows/ci.yml

name: CI Pipeline

on:
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]
  push:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  # Stage 1: Code Quality
  lint:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm run lint
      - run: npm run format:check
      - run: npm run type-check

  # Stage 2: Security
  security:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: npm audit --audit-level=high
      - uses: snyk/actions/node@master
        env:
          SNYK_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SNYK_TOKEN }}

  # Stage 3: Testing
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm test -- --coverage
      - uses: codecov/codecov-action@v3

  # Stage 4: Build
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: [lint, security, test]
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm run build
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        with:
          name: build
          path: dist/

  # Stage 5: Deploy (on main only)
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: [build]
    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
    steps:
      - uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
      - run: ./deploy.sh
        env:
          VERCEL_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }}
```

## Infrastructure Automation

### Terraform Example

```hcl
# infrastructure/main.tf

terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 5.0"
    }
  }
}

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "static_assets" {
  bucket = "acmecorp-static-assets"
  acl    = "private"

  versioning {
    enabled = true
  }

  lifecycle_rule {
    enabled = true
    noncurrent_version_expiration {
      days = 30
    }
  }
}

resource "aws_cloudfront_distribution" "cdn" {
  origin {
    domain_name = aws_s3_bucket.static_assets.bucket_regional_domain_name
    origin_id   = "S3-acmecorp"
  }

  enabled = true
  default_cache_behavior {
    allowed_methods  = ["GET", "HEAD"]
    cached_methods   = ["GET", "HEAD"]
    target_origin_id = "S3-acmecorp"

    forwarded_values {
      query_string = false
      cookies {
        forward = "none"
      }
    }

    viewer_protocol_policy = "redirect-to-https"
    min_ttl                = 0
    default_ttl            = 3600
    max_ttl                = 86400
  }
}
```

## Monitoring & Observability

### Metrics to Track

**Application Metrics**:
- Request rate (req/s)
- Error rate (%)
- Response time (p50, p95, p99)
- Throughput (MB/s)

**Infrastructure Metrics**:
- CPU usage (%)
- Memory usage (%)
- Disk I/O
- Network I/O

**Business Metrics**:
- User signups
- Feature usage
- Conversion rate

### Alert Rules

```yaml
# monitoring/alerts.yml

alerts:
  - name: high_error_rate
    condition: error_rate > 5%
    duration: 5m
    severity: critical
    notification: pagerduty

  - name: slow_response_time
    condition: p95_latency > 500ms
    duration: 10m
    severity: warning
    notification: slack

  - name: low_disk_space
    condition: disk_usage > 85%
    duration: 5m
    severity: warning
    notification: email
```

---

## Database Migrations

### Migration Strategy

```typescript
// migrations/001_create_users_table.ts

import { Knex } from 'knex';

export async function up(knex: Knex): Promise<void> {
  await knex.schema.createTable('users', (table) => {
    table.uuid('id').primary();
    table.string('email').unique().notNullable();
    table.string('password_hash').notNullable();
    table.timestamp('created_at').defaultTo(knex.fn.now());
    table.timestamp('updated_at').defaultTo(knex.fn.now());
  });
}

export async function down(knex: Knex): Promise<void> {
  await knex.schema.dropTable('users');
}
```

**Migration Workflow**:
1. Write migration locally
2. Test migration on staging DB
3. Run migration in CI (staging)
4. Manual approval gate
5. Run migration in production
6. Verify data integrity

## Deployment Strategies

### Blue-Green Deployment

```bash
# deploy-blue-green.sh

# Deploy to green environment
kubectl apply -f k8s/green-deployment.yml

# Wait for green to be healthy
kubectl wait --for=condition=available --timeout=300s deployment/green

# Switch traffic to green
kubectl patch service acmecorp-web -p '{"spec":{"selector":{"version":"green"}}}'

# Wait 5 minutes for monitoring
sleep 300

# Check error rate
if [ $(get_error_rate) -gt 5 ]; then
  echo "Rollback: High error rate detected"
  kubectl patch service acmecorp-web -p '{"spec":{"selector":{"version":"blue"}}}'
  exit 1
fi

# Success: scale down blue
kubectl scale deployment/blue --replicas=0
```

### Canary Deployment

```yaml
# k8s/canary.yml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: acmecorp-web
spec:
  selector:
    app: acmecorp-web
  ports:
    - port: 80
      targetPort: 3000

---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: acmecorp-web-stable
spec:
  replicas: 9
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: acmecorp-web
      version: stable

---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: acmecorp-web-canary
spec:
  replicas: 1  # 10% traffic
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: acmecorp-web
      version: canary
```

## Performance Optimization

### Build Time Optimization

```dockerfile
# Dockerfile (multi-stage build)

# Stage 1: Dependencies
FROM node:18-alpine AS deps
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci --only=production

# Stage 2: Build
FROM node:18-alpine AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

# Stage 3: Production
FROM node:18-alpine AS runner
WORKDIR /app
ENV NODE_ENV production

COPY --from=deps /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY --from=builder /app/dist ./dist
COPY package.json ./

USER node
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["node", "dist/index.js"]
```

**Benefits**:
- Layer caching (faster rebuilds)
- Smaller image size (only production deps)
- Security (no build tools in final image)

## Incident Response

### Runbook Template

```markdown
# Runbook: Database Connection Pool Exhausted

## Symptoms
- 500 errors on API endpoints
- Logs show "connection pool exhausted"
- Database CPU <50% (not DB issue)

## Severity: P1 (Critical)

## Immediate Actions (5 min)

1. Scale up API replicas:
   ```bash
   kubectl scale deployment/api --replicas=10
   ```

2. Increase DB connection pool:
   ```bash
   kubectl set env deployment/api DB_POOL_MAX=50
   ```

3. Restart API pods:
   ```bash
   kubectl rollout restart deployment/api
   ```

## Investigation (10 min)

1. Check slow queries:
   ```sql
   SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity
   WHERE state = 'active' AND query_start < NOW() - INTERVAL '5 minutes';
   ```

2. Check for leaked connections:
   ```bash
   kubectl logs deployment/api | grep "connection leak"
   ```

## Root Cause Mitigation

- If slow queries: Add DB index, optimize query
- If connection leak: Fix code, deploy hotfix
- If traffic spike: Enable auto-scaling

## Postmortem

- Document in `postmortems/YYYY-MM-DD-db-pool.md`
- Create tasks to prevent recurrence
```

## Auto-Setup Workflow

When invoked, offer to set up:

```markdown

   - Cloud resources (AWS, GCP, Azure)
   - Database provisioning
   - CDN setup

3. **Monitoring** (Datadog, Sentry)
   - Error tracking
   - Performance monitoring
   - Custom dashboards

4. **Database Migrations**
