Production-Grade CI/CD Pipeline for Full-Stack Blogging Platform

Jenkins | SonarQube | Trivy | Nexus | Terraform | Docker | Kubernetes | AWS EKS | Prometheus | Grafana

This repository showcases a real-world, production-ready CI/CD pipeline built for a Full-Stack Blogging Platform.
It automates the entire software delivery lifecycle — from code commit to deployment and real-time monitoring — using enterprise DevOps tools on AWS.

---

📌 Project Overview

This project demonstrates a modern, secure and scalable CI/CD workflow that:

• Fetches source code from GitHub
• Automates build & deployment pipelines using Jenkins
• Ensures code quality with SonarQube
• Performs security scanning using Trivy
• Stores versioned artifacts in Nexus Repository Manager
• Provisions AWS infrastructure using Terraform
• Containerizes the application with Docker
• Deploys workloads to Amazon EKS (Kubernetes)
• Monitors application and cluster metrics via Prometheus & Grafana

This is a complete, production-level DevOps pipeline suitable for enterprise environments.

🔄 CI/CD Pipeline Stages

1️⃣ Source Stage

• Host application code in GitHub
• Jenkins triggers pipeline through Webhooks

2️⃣ Build & Test

• Jenkins pulls code
• Installs dependencies
• Runs tests

3️⃣ Static Code Analysis — SonarQube

• Detects:
  • Bugs
  • Code smells
  • Vulnerabilities

4️⃣ Security Scan — Trivy

• Scans Docker image for:
  • High/Critical CVEs
  • Misconfigurations

5️⃣ Artifact Storage — Nexus

• Stores:
  • Build artifacts
  • Docker images
  • Versioned builds

6️⃣ Infrastructure Provisioning — Terraform

Terraform creates:

• VPC
• Subnets
• EKS Cluster
• Node Groups
• Security Groups
• IAM Roles

7️⃣ Container Build & Deploy

• Build Docker image
• Push to Nexus/DockerHub
• Deploy to EKS via Kubernetes manifests

8️⃣ Monitoring — Prometheus & Grafana

• Cluster metrics
• Pod performance
• Application uptime
• Custom dashboards
