Design CI/CD Strategy for the Project

[brolag]

Description:

We need to establish a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) strategy for this project to ensure code quality, streamline development, and automate the deployment process.

Key Requirements:

1. CI Pipeline:

   • Automated tests for all pull requests.
   • Biome (linting and formatting) checks for all commits.
   • Unit tests and integration tests (ensure adequate test coverage).
   • Clear error reporting for failing pipelines.

2. CD Pipeline:

   • Automatic deployment to staging after successful builds.
   • Enable manual promotion to production after approval.
   • Support for rollback in case of deployment failures.

3. Tooling:

   • Use GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or other preferred CI/CD tools.
   • Integration with the current GitHub repository.
   • Secrets management for deploying to staging and production.

4. Notifications:

   • Notifications on build failures (Slack, Email, or GitHub status checks).

5. Versioning:

   • Implement automated versioning (e.g., Semantic Versioning).

Acceptance Criteria:

• [ ] CI pipeline is triggered on every push and pull request.
• [ ] Linting and formatting checks are part of the CI process.
• [ ] Deployment to staging happens automatically post-merge to the main branch.
• [ ] Manual deployment process for production with rollback capability.
• [ ] Notifications on pipeline status integrated with communication tools.

Additional Context:

• Current testing suite is set up with Jest (or relevant testing framework).
• Use Biome as a linter and formatter.
• The project uses Next.js and requires environment-specific builds.

• GitHub Actions Documentation
