🚀 Deployment

Docker

# Build production image
docker build -t ghcr.io/brianattopicality/github-apps-enterprise:latest .

# Run container
docker run -p 3000:3000 --env-file .env ghcr.io/brianattopicality/github-apps-enterprise:latest

Kubernetes

# Deploy to Kubernetes
kubectl apply -f k8s/

# Check deployment status
kubectl rollout status deployment/github-apps -n production

# View logs
kubectl logs -f deployment/github-apps -n production

GitHub Actions

Automated deployments are configured via GitHub Actions:

• CI Pipeline: Runs on every push/PR (lint, test, build, security scan)
• CD Pipeline: Deploys on tag creation (v*.*.*) or manual workflow dispatch

📊 Monitoring

Metrics

• Application Metrics: Request rate, latency, error rate
• System Metrics: CPU, memory, disk I/O
• Business Metrics: Webhook processing time, GitHub API rate limits

Dashboards

• Grafana: Pre-configured dashboards for application and infrastructure monitoring
• Jaeger: Distributed tracing for request flow analysis
• Prometheus: Time-series metrics storage and alerting

Alerts

• High error rate (>5% of requests)
• Elevated response time (p95 >500ms)
• GitHub API rate limit approaching threshold
• Database connection pool exhaustion
• Memory usage >80%

🔒 Security

Best Practices

• ✅ Webhook signature verification
• ✅ OAuth 2.0 authentication
• ✅ Secret management via environment variables
• ✅ Regular dependency updates and security scanning
• ✅ Rate limiting and DDoS protection
• ✅ Input validation and sanitization
• ✅ HTTPS/TLS enforcement
• ✅ Principle of least privilege for GitHub App permissions

Security Scanning

Automated security scans run on every PR:

• Trivy: Container vulnerability scanning
• npm audit: Dependency vulnerability checking
• CodeQL: Static application security testing (SAST)
