DevOps Projects in BoulderDevOps Projects in BoulderArchitected and implemented a production-grade, fully automated DevOps platform on AWS, covering the entire software delivery lifecycle from code commit to live deployment. The platform integrates eight tightly coupled layers: a developer workflow built on Git, Docker Compose, and pull requests; a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline with dedicated workflows for continuous integration, deployment, Terraform provisioning, security scanning, and semantic releases; and a multi-tool security gate enforcing SAST, SCA, IaC scanning, container analysis, OWASP ZAP, and CodeQL checks before any artifact progresses.
Infrastructure is provisioned as code using Terraform, deploying a multi-AZ VPC, an EKS cluster, ECR repositories, RDS MySQL, an ALB with WAF, and IAM OIDC integration on AWS. Applications are packaged with Helm Umbrella Charts and deployed to Kubernetes with Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (2–8 replicas) and RBAC-enforced NetworkPolicies. GitOps state management is handled by ArgoCD, providing continuous reconciliation, drift detection, auto-sync, and self-healing across all application sets.
Observability is delivered through a dual-stack setup: a metrics pipeline (Prometheus → Grafana → Alertmanager → Slack) and a log aggregation pipeline (Filebeat → Logstash → Elasticsearch → Kibana). Releases are fully automated using Semantic Release with Conventional Commits, producing versioned GitHub Releases and Docker image tags without manual intervention.
