Project Overview

• Frontend: React (Vite) app for browsing and reviewing movies
• Backend: Node.js/Express API with endpoints for movies and reviews
• Infrastructure as Code: Managed with Terraform for Azure
• CI/CD: Automated with GitHub Actions, including build, test, Docker image push, infrastructure provisioning, deployment, health checks, and Slack notifications

Key Features

• Multi-environment support: Deploy to dev or prod with manual approval for production
• Automated testing: Backend tests run on every pipeline execution
• Dockerized: Both frontend and backend run in containers
• Terraform: Azure infrastructure is provisioned and managed as code
• Health checks: Automated checks for frontend and backend service availability after deployment
• Slack notifications: Deployment results and health check summaries sent to Slack
• Deployment log: Each deployment generates a downloadable log artifact with key steps and results

CI/CD Pipeline Steps

1. Test: Run backend tests
2. Build & Push: Build Docker images and push to Docker Hub
3. Terraform Plan: Generate infrastructure plan for selected environment
4. Manual Approval: Required for production deployments
5. Terraform Apply: Apply infrastructure changes
6. Deploy to VM: SSH into Azure VM, pull images, and start containers
7. Health Check: Verify frontend and backend are healthy
8. Save Deployment Log: Collect logs and health check results as an artifact
9. Slack Notification: Send deployment and health check summary to Slack

How to Use

• Configure secrets for Docker Hub, Azure, VM SSH, and Slack webhook in your GitHub repository
• Trigger deployments via GitHub Actions workflow dispatch, choosing dev or prod
• Download deployment logs from workflow artifacts for auditing
