cicd-pipelines

You are cicd-pipelines - a specialized skill for multi-platform CI/CD pipeline expertise. This skill provides comprehensive capabilities for designing, implementing, and optimizing continuous integration and deployment pipelines.

Overview

This skill enables AI-powered CI/CD operations including:

• Generate GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and Azure Pipelines
• Analyze pipeline failures and suggest fixes
• Optimize pipeline execution time
• Validate pipeline syntax and security
• Configure matrix builds and parallelization
• Set up artifact caching strategies

Prerequisites

• Access to CI/CD platform (GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps)
• Repository write access for workflow files
• Optional: Platform-specific CLI tools (gh, glab, az)

Capabilities

1. GitHub Actions

Generate and optimize GitHub Actions workflows:

name: CI/CD Pipeline

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

env:
  NODE_VERSION: '20'
  REGISTRY: ghcr.io
  IMAGE_NAME: ${{ github.repository }}

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        node: [18, 20, 22]
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Setup Node.js
        uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: ${{ matrix.node }}
          cache: 'npm'

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: npm ci

      - name: Run tests
        run: npm test -- --coverage

      - name: Upload coverage
        uses: codecov/codecov-action@v4
        if: matrix.node == 20

  build:
    needs: test
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read
      packages: write
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Set up Docker Buildx
        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v3

      - name: Login to Container Registry
        uses: docker/login-action@v3
        with:
          registry: ${{ env.REGISTRY }}
          username: ${{ github.actor }}
          password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

      - name: Build and push
        uses: docker/build-push-action@v5
        with:
          context: .
          push: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request' }}
          tags: ${{ env.REGISTRY }}/${{ env.IMAGE_NAME }}:${{ github.sha }}
          cache-from: type=gha
          cache-to: type=gha,mode=max

  deploy:
    needs: build
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
    environment: production
    steps:
      - name: Deploy to production
        run: |
          echo "Deploying ${{ github.sha }}"

2. GitLab CI

Generate GitLab CI/CD configurations:

stages:
  - test
  - build
  - deploy

variables:
  DOCKER_TLS_CERTDIR: "/certs"

.node-cache: &node-cache
  cache:
    key:
      files:
        - package-lock.json
    paths:
      - node_modules/
    policy: pull-push

test:
  stage: test
  image: node:20
  <<: *node-cache
  script:
    - npm ci
    - npm test -- --coverage
  coverage: '/All files[^|]*\|[^|]*\s+([\d\.]+)/'
  artifacts:
    reports:
      coverage_report:
        coverage_format: cobertura
        path: coverage/cobertura-coverage.xml

build:
  stage: build
  image: docker:24
  services:
    - docker:24-dind
  before_script:
    - docker login -u $CI_REGISTRY_USER -p $CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD $CI_REGISTRY
  script:
    - docker build -t $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA .
    - docker push $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE:$CI_COMMIT_SHA
  rules:
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH

deploy-production:
  stage: deploy
  environment:
    name: production
    url: https://app.example.com
  script:
    - echo "Deploying to production"
  rules:
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH
      when: manual

3. Jenkins Pipeline

Generate Jenkinsfile configurations:

pipeline {
    agent any

    environment {
        DOCKER_REGISTRY = 'registry.example.com'
        IMAGE_NAME = 'myapp'
    }

    options {
        timeout(time: 30, unit: 'MINUTES')
        buildDiscarder(logRotator(numToKeepStr: '10'))
        disableConcurrentBuilds()
    }

    stages {
        stage('Checkout') {
            steps {
                checkout scm
            }
        }

        stage('Test') {
            agent {
                docker {
                    image 'node:20'
                    args '-v $HOME/.npm:/root/.npm'
                }
            }
            steps {
                sh 'npm ci'
                sh 'npm test'
            }
            post {
                always {
                    junit 'test-results/**/*.xml'
                }
            }
        }

        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                script {
                    docker.build("${DOCKER_REGISTRY}/${IMAGE_NAME}:${env.BUILD_NUMBER}")
                }
            }
        }

        stage('Push') {
            when {
                branch 'main'
            }
            steps {
                script {
                    docker.withRegistry("https://${DOCKER_REGISTRY}", 'docker-credentials') {
                        docker.image("${DOCKER_REGISTRY}/${IMAGE_NAME}:${env.BUILD_NUMBER}").push()
                        docker.image("${DOCKER_REGISTRY}/${IMAGE_NAME}:${env.BUILD_NUMBER}").push('latest')
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        stage('Deploy') {
            when {
                branch 'main'
            }
            steps {
                echo "Deploying build ${env.BUILD_NUMBER}"
            }
        }
    }

    post {
        failure {
            emailext (
                subject: "Pipeline Failed: ${env.JOB_NAME}",
                body: "Check console output at ${env.BUILD_URL}",
                recipientProviders: [developers(), requestor()]
            )
        }
    }
}

4. Azure Pipelines

  vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'

variables:
  - group: production-variables
  - name: imageRepository
    value: 'myapp'

stages:
  - stage: Build
    displayName: 'Build and Test'
    jobs:
      - job: Test
        displayName: 'Run Tests'
        steps:
          - task: NodeTool@0
            inputs:

              command: 'buildAndPush'
              Dockerfile: '**/Dockerfile'
              tags: |
                $(Build.BuildId)
                latest

  - stage: Deploy
    displayName: 'Deploy to Production'
    dependsOn: Build
    condition: and(succeeded(), eq(variables['Build.SourceBranch'], 'refs/heads/main'))
    jobs:
      - deployment: DeployProd
        environment: 'production'
        strategy:
          runOnce:
            deploy:
              steps:
                - script: echo "Deploying to production"

5. Pipeline Optimization

Optimization strategies:

# Caching strategies
- uses: actions/cache@v4
  with:
    path: |
      ~/.npm
      node_modules
    key: ${{ runner.os }}-node-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}
    restore-keys: |
      ${{ runner.os }}-node-

# Parallelization
jobs:
  test:
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false
      matrix:
        shard: [1, 2, 3, 4]
    steps:
      - run: npm test -- --shard=${{ matrix.shard }}/4

# Conditional execution
- name: Deploy
  if: github.event_name ==
