Java Demo App

Overview

This is a simple Sales Manager Java App that stores sales items in a table presented in a web app. This demo repo is designed to help understand some of CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) principles and best practices.

Technology Stack

  • Language: Java (Spring Boot framework)
  • Design Patterns: MVC (Model View Controller) and OOP (Object Oriented Programming)
  • Database: PostreSQL 10.4 (compatible with other versions)
  • CI/CD Pipeline: GitHub Actions

CI/CD Pipeline

The pipeline is optimized using various tools. See the .github/workflows/ci.yml and .github/workflows/cd.yml for more detailed configuration.

    participant K as Kubernetes
    C->>G: Developer pushes a commit
    G->>G: GitHub Actions extracts the commit message
    Note over G: GitHub Actions checks if the commit message starts with [v1]
    alt Commit message starts with [v1]
        G->>H: GitHub Actions tells Helm to update the app without changing the v2 image
        Note over G: The v2 image remains the same
    else Commit message does not start with [v1]
        G->>H: GitHub Actions tells Helm to update the app and change the v2 image
        Note over G: The v2 image is updated to the new version
    end
    H->>K: Helm deploys or updates the Kubernetes resources
    G->>K: GitHub Actions checks the status of the deployments

App deployment flow - in this diagram

User Request Flow

  1. User sends a request to the Load Balancer.
  2. Load Balancer routes the request to the Kubernetes Service.
  3. Kubernetes Service routes the request to the Spring Boot App.
  4. Spring Boot App queries the Database.
  5. Database returns data to the Spring Boot App.
  6. Spring Boot App checks the Feature Flag.
  7. Feature Flag returns the flag status to the Spring Boot App.
  8. Spring Boot App checks the Redis Cache.
  9. Redis Cache returns the session data to the Spring Boot App.
  10. Spring Boot App returns the response to the User.

Deployment Process

  1. App Startup deploys the Database.
  2. Canary Deployment spins up new pods.
  3. Rollback triggers a Canary Deployment.
  4. Canary Deployment deploys the previous stable Docker image.
  5. Canary Deployment reverts database changes.
  6. Promote deploys to all pods.

Monitoring and Issue Resolution

  1. Monitoring alerts the Ops Team.
  2. Ops Team fixes issues.
  3. Rollback/Canary Deployment deploys the fix.
  4. New Pods verifies the fix.
  5. Monitoring verifies the fix.
