Workflow

Development

# make git-hooks
make dev

Initialization

make init
make push-images

Subsequent push to branch will trigger deployment via GitHub Actions:

  • Branch dev will deploy to stage environment
  • Branch main will deploy to prod environment

Manual apply / destroy

Besides GitHub Actions, deployments can be managed manually. Configure additional Makefile targets to manually manage deployments as your application scales across environments, regions, accounts, or includes additional services or data providers. For this repository, common targets are listed below.

Change infrastructure:

# after changes in ./terraform/*
make apply

Change codebase and deploy to infrastructure:

# after changes in ./containers/*
make push-images
make apply

Destroy infrastructure:

# after infrastructure is no longer required
make destroy
