CI/CD for Django
- GitHub Actions: .github/workflows/ci.yml — trigger on push/PR. Steps: checkout → setup Python → install deps → run migrations → run tests → build Docker image → deploy
- Testing Pipeline: Run pytest with coverage → check code quality (flake8/ruff) → type checking (mypy) → security scanning (bandit/safety) → all must pass before merge
- Docker Build & Push: Build Docker image → tag with commit SHA and 'latest' → push to container registry (Docker Hub, AWS ECR, GCR). Tagged images for rollback
- Staging Environment: Deploy to staging first — run integration tests, smoke tests, manual QA. Promote to production only after staging verification
- Blue-Green Deployment: Two identical production environments — 'blue' serves traffic while 'green' gets the update. Switch traffic instantly with DNS/load balancer. Instant rollback
- Database Migrations: Run migrations before deploying new code — migrations must be backward-compatible. Never drop columns in the same release that removes the code using them
