DevOps Pipelines for Distributed Teams

What is this?
CI/CD pipelines build, test, scan, and deploy services repeatedly with gates — the DevOps delivery backbone.
Why should you care?
ShopNest’s many services need safe, boring deploys more than heroics.
See it live — copy this example
Sketch the architecture on paper. These lessons focus on concepts and trade-offs.
PR → build → unit → integration → image scan → staging
Prod: canary 5% → auto promote/abort
Separate pipelines per service; shared templatesRun Example »
This lesson uses terminal or setup steps. Run commands on your computer — the live editor appears on coding lessons.
What happened?
- Per-service pipelines preserve independence.
- Shared templates keep standards.
- Canary gates use metrics, not hope.
Practice next
- Template a pipeline for ShopNest services.
- Require tests + scan before image push.
- Deploy via canary to prod.
- Add contract tests between Order and Payment.
- Slack notify on canary abort.
Remember
Automate build→deploy. Gates before prod. Per-service independence.
Orders canary pipeline
ShopNest aborts deploy on 5xx spike.
Outcome: Bad releases rarely reach 100% traffic.
