GitHub CI/CD Workflow #
Understanding how Ledgerely’s CI/CD pipeline functions is essential for efficient software deployment. This guide explains the automated deployment process and how changes in code seamlessly transition to production, staging, and development environments.
Branches & Deployment Environments: #
Ledgerely employs a structured CI/CD pipeline with the following branches:
- develop (default branch) → Deploys to Development (DEV): https://ledgerely.com/dev
- staging → Deploys to User Acceptance Testing (UAT): https://ledgerely.com/stage
- master → Deploys to Production (PROD): https://ledgerely.com/app
Step-by-Step CI/CD Configuration: #
Set Up the GitHub Actions Workflow #
- Create a .github/workflows directory in the repository.
- Add a YAML configuration file (.yml) to define deployment processes.
Configure Automatic Deployment Triggers #
The GitHub Actions workflow initiates push events to the following branches:
on:
push:
branches:
– master
– staging
– develop
Secure Deployment with GitHub Secrets #
Sensitive data like API keys, environment variables, and credentials are securely stored in GitHub Secrets to ensure secure deployment.
Push Workflow File to Repository #
- Once the configuration is completed, commit and push the workflow file to trigger CI/CD processes.
How the Automated Deployment Works: #
- Push Code to GitHub: A developer commits code to the respective branch.
- GitHub Actions Trigger Deployment: The configured workflow automatically initiates deployment to the corresponding environment.
- Live Deployment Updates:
- develop branch → Updates DEV environment (https://ledgerely.com/dev)
- staging branch → Updates UAT environment (https://ledgerely.com/stage)
- master branch → Updates PROD environment (https://ledgerely.com/app)
Benefits of Ledgerely's CI/CD Workflow: #
- Automated Deployment: Reduces manual effort and ensures consistency.
- Secure & Reliable: GitHub Secrets protect sensitive credentials.
- Seamless Code Integration: Developers can test, stage, and deploy efficiently.
- Faster Time to Market: Quick and reliable deployments enhance productivity.
Conclusion: #
Ledgerely’s CI/CD pipeline is optimized for seamless, automated deployments, ensuring efficient software updates across multiple environments. By leveraging GitHub Actions and secure configurations, teams can deploy confidently without downtime.
