Core DevOps Patterns

Multi-Stage Docker Build:

Copy# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1
ARG NODE_VERSION=20
ARG ALPINE_VERSION=3.21

# Stage 1: Dependencies
FROM node:${NODE_VERSION}-alpine${ALPINE_VERSION} AS deps
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci --only=production && npm cache clean --force

# Stage 2: Build
FROM node:${NODE_VERSION}-alpine${ALPINE_VERSION} AS build
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci
COPY . .
RUN npm run build && npm run test

# Stage 3: Production
FROM node:${NODE_VERSION}-alpine${ALPINE_VERSION}@sha256:1e7902618558e51428d31e6c06c2531e3170417018a45148a1f3d7305302b211
WORKDIR /app

# Security: Non-root user
RUN addgroup -g 1001 -S nodejs && adduser -S nodejs -u 1001
COPY --from=deps --chown=nodejs:nodejs /app/node_modules ./node_modules
COPY --from=build --chown=nodejs:nodejs /app/dist ./dist
COPY --chown=nodejs:nodejs package*.json ./

USER nodejs
EXPOSE 3000
ENV NODE_ENV=production
HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s --start-period=40s CMD node healthcheck.js
CMD ["node", "dist/index.js"]

  --image=curlimages/curl -- \
  http://web-app-$NEW_VERSION.$NAMESPACE.svc.cluster.local/health

echo "Switching traffic to $NEW_VERSION..."
kubectl patch service $SERVICE -n $NAMESPACE \
  -p "{\"spec\":{\"selector\":{\"version\":\"$NEW_VERSION\"}}}"

echo "Monitor for 10 minutes..."
sleep 600

echo "Scale down old version..."
kubectl scale deployment/web-app-$([ "$NEW_VERSION" = "blue" ] && echo "green" || echo "blue") \

Best Practices Summary

Container Security:

• ✅ Use minimal base images (Alpine, distroless)
• ✅ Pin image digests for reproducibility
• ✅ Run as non-root user
• ✅ Scan images with Trivy/Snyk
• ✅ Multi-stage builds reduce attack surface

Kubernetes Production:

• ✅ Resource requests/limits for all containers
• ✅ Liveness and readiness probes
• ✅ HPA for automatic scaling
• ✅ PodDisruptionBudget for availability
• ✅ Network policies for security

CI/CD Optimization:

• ✅ Matrix builds for multi-version testing
• ✅ Caching strategies (Docker layers, npm/pip)
• ✅ Security scanning at every stage
• ✅ Parallel jobs for faster feedback
• ✅ Workflow timeouts (30 minutes recommended)

Infrastructure as Code:

• ✅ Remote state with locking (S3 + DynamoDB)
• ✅ State encryption with KMS
• ✅ Modular architecture for reusability
• ✅ Input validation with constraints
• ✅ Version pinning for providers

Monitoring & Observability:

• ✅ Scrape intervals: 15-30 seconds for most apps
• ✅ Consistent label naming, avoid high cardinality
• ✅ Alert thresholds based on SLIs/SLOs
• ✅ Template variables in dashboards
• ✅ OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing

GitOps Workflow:

• ✅ Git as single source of truth
• ✅ Automated sync with self-healing
• ✅ Declarative configuration (YAML in Git)
• ✅ RBAC for access control
• ✅ Audit trail via Git history
