Setting Up CI/CD

Set Up Continuous Deployment

set up CI/CD for this project

Monk configures GitHub Actions to auto-deploy on every push to main. → Build & CI/CD

What You Need

GitHub repository (your project must be in GitHub)
Already deployed application
Optional: GitHub Personal Access Token (for automatic setup)

With GitHub PAT (Automatic)

You: set up CI/CD

Monk: I'll need a GitHub Personal Access Token to configure this automatically.
      Create one at: https://github.com/settings/tokens

You: [Provides PAT]

Monk: ✓ Created GitHub Actions workflow
      ✓ Injected deployment keys
      ✓ CI/CD ready - push to main to deploy

Without PAT (Manual)

You: set up CI/CD

Monk: I've generated the GitHub Actions workflow.
      Please manually add these secrets to your repository:

Deploying Updates

Once CI/CD is set up, simply push code to your main branch: Commit and push your changes: Your deployment triggers automatically when code reaches the main branch. No need to tell Monk - GitHub Actions handles it.

Deploy Manually (Alternative)

deploy the latest changes

Deploy updates without CI/CD. → Updates & Maintenance

Prevent Dependency Upgrades

deploy but don't upgrade dependencies

Update only your code, keep databases/services at current versions.

What Gets Auto-Deployed

Code changes - Updated services
New services - Added components
Configuration changes - Environment variables
Container updates - New dependencies

Smart Rebuilds

Monk only rebuilds what changed:

Changed frontend → Rebuilds frontend only
Changed API → Rebuilds API container
No changes → Skips rebuild

Next Steps

Monitor & Debug - Watch deployments
Managing Costs - Track CI/CD impact on costs
