How It Works

The complete pipeline flow — four key stages

01

Code Push & CI/CD Trigger

Developer pushes code from VS Code to a GitHub repository. This triggers an automated CI/CD pipeline built using GitHub Actions.

02

Build & Push Docker Image

The pipeline builds a Docker image of the application and uploads it to Docker Hub with versioned tags and latest image tracking.

03

Serverless Notification

A POST request hits API Gateway, triggering a Lambda function that publishes to Amazon SNS — sending an SMS confirming deployment.

04

Monitoring & Observability

Prometheus collects metrics from running containers. Grafana provides real-time dashboards for system health, performance, and alerts.

Implementation Details

Three major components working in concert

🔄

CI/CD Pipeline

  • GitHub Actions workflow triggered on push to main
  • Builds Docker image from Dockerfile
  • Authenticates with Docker Hub using secure credentials
  • Pushes image with versioned tags to registry
⚡

Serverless Notifications

  • API Gateway HTTP API with POST /notify endpoint
  • AWS Lambda executes notification logic
  • IAM role grants SNS publish permissions
  • Amazon SNS delivers SMS to configured number
📊

Monitoring Stack

  • Docker Compose orchestrates all services
  • Prometheus scrapes container metrics
  • Grafana dashboards visualize real-time data
  • Port-mapped for local browser access

Monitoring Dashboard
