CI Pipelines - KeynesYouDigIt/Knowledge GitHub Wiki

Overall

• Only use docker-compose volumes in dev

Backend

Dockerfile

• Keep builds fast by pulling in the package lock and npm installing, then bringing in app files
• Put node_modules in .dockerignore
• Use npm ci --only=production to speed up builds
  • Won't have your test dependencies though

Database Connections

• Development, test, and ci can all use the same default connection string
  • postgres://postgres:password@db:5432
  • POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password needs to be in all environments

Frontend

• You have to use actual ports for the front-end and backend (but not the database)

Tests

• All use internal network

CI

• One-shot tests, use production builds

E2E Tests

• Continuous tests
• Use volumes
