How and where the Job Opportunities application is deployed¶
Deployment is via our standard terraform deployment CI pipeline.
Deploying a new release¶
Making a new release of the application is done via release automation. In short: each commit to the web app's main branch builds and pushes a Docker image to GCR. An MR can then be raised within the infrastructure repository to deploy a given image by SHA. Once merged, the main GitLab pipeline will allow deployment to production via the "play" buttons in the CI pipeline. An automated deployment to staging will be completed as part of this pipeline.
Monitoring¶
Monitoring is configured as per our standard Google Cloud Run application module.
