deployment-pipeline-design

Design secure, multi-stage CI/CD pipelines with approval gates and deployment strategies.

• Multi-stage CI/CD pipelines with approval gates
• Security and testing integration in deployment flows
• Deployment orchestration across environments
• Gradual rollout strategies like canary and blue-green

• Approval gates for manual or time-based reviews
• Rolling, blue-green, and canary deployment strategies
• Automated rollback on failure
• Environment parity and consistent configurations
• Feature flags for controlled feature releases
• Parallel job execution and caching
• Integration with monitoring and alerts

1. 1.Define pipeline stages: source, build, test, deploy, verify
2. 2.Set up approval gates (manual, time-based, multi-approver)
3. 3.Choose deployment strategy (rolling, blue-green, canary)
4. 4.Configure environment-specific deployments and rollbacks
5. 5.Integrate monitoring and automated rollback
