CI/CD Pipeline

Create and configure GitLab CI pipelines for JHipster microservices with stages for lint, test, security, compliance, build, and deploy.

When to Use

• When setting up CI/CD for a new microservice
• When adding quality gates (lint, test, security scan)
• When automating Docker builds and pushes
• When configuring deployment to K3s/Kubernetes
• When adding compliance checks

Available Operations

1. Create .gitlab-ci.yml with all stages
2. Configure lint and test stages
3. Set up Docker image build with Jib
4. Configure deployment to Kubernetes
5. Add security scanning

Multi-Step Workflow

Step 1: Create Pipeline File

# .gitlab-ci.yml
stages:
  - lint
  - test
  - security
  - build
  - deploy-staging
  - deploy-prod

variables:
  DOCKER_IMAGE: $CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE
  K3S_NAMESPACE: maestro
  MAVEN_OPTS: "-Dmaven.repo.local=$CI_PROJECT_DIR/.m2/repository"

cache:
  paths:
    - .m2/repository/
    - node_modules/

Step 2: Add Lint and Test Stages

lint:backend:
  stage: lint
  image: maven:3.9-eclipse-temurin-21
  script:
    - ./mvnw checkstyle:check -DskipTests
    - ./mvnw pmd:check -DskipTests

lint:frontend:
  stage: lint
  image: node:20-slim
  script:
    - npm ci
    - npm run lint

test:backend:
  stage: test
  image: maven:3.9-eclipse-temurin-21
  services:
    - postgres:16
  variables:
    SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL: jdbc:postgresql://postgres:5432/testdb
    SPRING_DATASOURCE_USERNAME: test
    SPRING_DATASOURCE_PASSWORD: test
  script:
    - ./mvnw verify -Pprod -DskipTests=false
    - ./mvnw test -Dtest="*IT" -DfailIfNoTests=false
  artifacts:
    reports:
      junit: target/surefire-reports/*.xml

test:frontend:
  stage: test
  image: node:20-slim
  script:
    - npm ci
    - npm test -- --coverage

Step 3: Add Security Scanning

security:dependencies:
  stage: security
  image: maven:3.9-eclipse-temurin-21
  script:
    - ./mvnw org.owasp:dependency-check-maven:check
  allow_failure: true
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - target/dependency-check-report.html
