CI/CD Golden Path

EGI's CI/CD golden path provides a standardized approach to building, testing, and deploying applications across multiple environments and platforms.

Key Concepts​

Repository Split​

  • App Repo: Contains application code, tests, and CI pipelines
  • Ops Repo: Contains deployment manifests, infrastructure configuration, and deployment intent

Deployment Flow​

  1. Developer creates PR in app repo
  2. CI runs lint, test, build, and security scans
  3. On merge to main, an immutable artifact is created
  4. A PR is opened to the ops repo for the dev environment
  5. Dev deployment happens automatically
  6. Staging promotion is automatic after smoke checks
  7. Production requires a manual approval gate

Supported Platforms​

  • Kubernetes
  • Vercel
  • Railway
  • Droplets (via SSH/Ansible)

Ownership Boundary​

  • CI/CD remains a development-company concern.
  • CI/CD is not the source of runtime truth for production operations.
  • After Anchor handoff, production operations are governed through Anchor procedures even though engineering changes continue to originate from the development company.
