[DMP 2024]: CI-CD pipeline for AMRIT

Ticket Contents

Description

Digital Bharat Collaborative (DBC) is an initiative of Piramal Swasthya, the healthcare arm of the Piramal Foundation. DBC's focus areas include building a robust digital public health delivery platform, improving data-driven governance and empowering healthcare workers. One of DBC's most successful initiatives is AMRIT (Accessible Medical Records via Integrated Technologies). AMRIT is a first-of-its-kind integrated health technology platform that supports clinical excellence for over 2 Cr beneficiaries. AMRIT is deployed across multiple on-premise servers and state data centres in India.

Building and deploying the latest code involves a lot of manual effort. The fact that AMRIT is deployed across several servers adds additional complexity in managing releases.

This project aims to integrate a robust CI-CD pipeline to improve development efficiency and reduce deployment risks.

Goals & Mid-Point Milestone

Goals

[ ] Research and selection of CI-CD tools and understanding of current AMRIT deployments
[ ] Tweaking of existing GitHub Actions to include triggers for unit testing and static code analysis
[ ] Creation of Jenkins pipeline to build war files for deployment
[ ] Handling database schema migrations via the deployment pipeline
[ ] Deployment of war files to WildFly server in the development environment
[ ] Promotion/replication of CI-CD workflow to higher environments

Setup/Installation

https://psmri.github.io/PSMRI/developer-guides/technical-overview/

Expected Outcome

Comprehensive documentation covering the chosen CI/CD tools, pipeline setup, configuration details, and usage instructions.
A few clicks in Jenkins must build and deploy the latest code to selected data centres.
CI-CD pipeline(s) that care of code testing, building and deployment to data centres.

Acceptance Criteria

Any sensitive information like DB passwords and API keys must be managed securely via the pipeline.
The pipeline must automate code testing, building, and deployment processes.
Migrations of database schema are taken care of in the pipeline.
The deployment pipeline must require near-zero manual intervention.

Implementation Details

You will receive access to a Jenkins server with a pipeline for configuring further.
Existing GitHub Actions can be tweaked further for code testing.
The services are hosted on WildFly servers. You will receive a test environment to try out the pipelines.
