Pipes on Pipelines
summary
An overview of CI/CD using GitLab CI for Docker builds with cached layers, container images pushed to registries, and Kubernetes deployments managed by Flux (GitOps). Includes demos of ephemeral merge-request environments, auto-deploy-on-merge, pod scaling (to five), a forgotten cleanup that spun up 48 VMs, SBOM generation with Syft/Shift, container and dependency scans, Cypress and Gatling tests, and recommendations for shift-left testing, caching, and database migration patterns.
