12-factor apps

Idempotent BuildIdempotent Push

Idempotent Deploy

1. Webhook triggers on push to [Github Enterprise]. [Jenkins] pulls and starts build.2. [Nexus 3/IQ] holds scanned and approved base images (Docker) and dependencies (NPM, Maven, etc).3. Docker build with no Internet access. Unit tests and code quality as part of build. Images tagged with commit SHA.4. Private registry for untested images. Disposable and used only to deploy for testing.5. Pull by tag (SHA). Resolve to content hash (for idempotency). Deploy one instance (of full application) per open PR.6. Static analysis. Code quality. Integration tests. BDD-style automated functional tests. Manual testing.7. [Nexus 3] holds tested images (release candidates), tagged with commit SHA.8. Deploy includes resolve by content hash. Smoke tests (golden path synthetics) in each environment (UAT to Prod). User testing.9. Zero downtime rolling deploy. Canary releases. Blue/green with ramp-up.
