Deployment & DevOps Workflow

Automated CI/CD pipelines for design system deployment and monitoring.

Reliable deployment means changes flow smoothly from development through testing to production, with rollback options if needed.

GitHub Actions Basics

Workflow Structure

# .github/workflows/deploy.yml
name: Deploy

Versioning & Release

Semantic Versioning

      - run: npm ci
      - name: Bump version
        run: |
          npm version patch -m "Release v%s"
          git push --follow-tags

Automated Changelog

jobs:
  changelog:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Generate changelog
        run: npx changelog-cli generate
      - name: Commit changelog
        run: |
          git add CHANGELOG.md
          git commit -m "Update changelog"

Deployment Strategies

Strategy 1: Automatic Publish on Main

name: Deploy
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  publish:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          registry-url: https://registry.npmjs.org
      - run: npm ci && npm run build && npm publish
        env:
          NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}

Strategy 2: Manual Release (Recommended for Breaking Changes)

name: Deploy
on:
  release:
    types: [published]

jobs:
  publish:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          ref: ${{ github.event.release.tag_name }}
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          registry-url: https://registry.npmjs.org
      - run: npm ci && npm run build && npm publish
        env:
          NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}

Strategy 3: Canary Deployment

jobs:
  publish-canary:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: github.ref != 'refs/heads/main'
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          registry-url: https://registry.npmjs.org
      - run: |
          npm ci && npm run build
          npm publish --tag canary
        env:
          NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}

Monitoring & Rollback

Health Checks

jobs:
  smoke-test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: publish
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
      - run: |
          npm install @company/component-library@latest
          npm test -- integration.test.ts

Rollback Procedure

# If critical issue detected
npm unpublish @company/[email protected]

# Or publish old version as latest
npm publish --tag latest

# Notify team
curl -X POST https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "channel":"#devops",
    "text":"ROLLBACK: Reverted to v1.1.0"
  }'
