Aline Financial CI/CD

Usage

Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) is a software engineering practice that aims to improve the speed, quality, and reliability of software development by automating the build, test, and deployment process. This project established a CI/CD pipeline for our development environment.

Aline Financial App Architecture:

Local Containerization/Automation

Localized containerization is a way of packaging our web application, along with its dependencies and runtime environment, into a container that can be easily deployed and run in the cloud. This allows us to make it easier to deploy and run the application consistently, regardless of the host environment.

Installation

Requirements:

Docker Desktop

VS Code

Docker extension

Clone repo files:

1. Create a .env file and add values to each global variable listed in the env file.
2. Create an Aline Financial parent folder.
3. Clone all Aline Financial repos into parent folder.
4. Clone the develop branch in Aline DevOps

Build Docker Images and run Docker Compose

1. Follow the steps in Clone repo files above if you do not have Aline Financial repo files.
2. From the docker folder, move the following files to the parent Aline Financial folder you created in step 2. Dockerfile.maven Dockerfile.node docker-compose.yml setup.py .env (the one you created in Clone reop files: step 1)
3. run setup.py:

• py setup.py or python3 setup.py

4. run docker-compose.yml

• a. right-click docker-compose.yml
• b. select Compose Up to run all services or select Compose Up - Select Services to build/run a subset of microservices.

Kubernetes Local

1. Apply nginx Ingress Controller kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/controller-v1.5.1/deploy/static/provider/cloud/deploy.yaml

2. Create namespace kubectl create namespace aline

3. Apply secrets for MYSQL_PASSWORD and secret keys within the aline namespace.

4. Apply manifest files. In k8s folder: kubectl apply -f .

5. Update /etc/hosts to route endpoints through localhost: 127.0.0.1 alinefinancial.com 127.0.0.1 member.alinefinancial.com 127.0.0.1 admin.alinefinancial.com 127.0.0.1 api.alinefinancial.com

Website is accessible through alinefinancial.com.

Jenkins

The files in the Jenkins folder were a dry run for a basic pipeline build to configure credientials and the pipeline process. A repo maybe created with these files to configure a pipeline provided the Jenkins servers and accounts are appropriately set up.
