-# CI/CD Patterns
-
-This template provides common CI/CD patterns and best practices applicable across all CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins, etc.).
-
-## Purpose
-
-CI/CD patterns ensure:
-- Consistent build/test/deploy processes
-- Fast feedback loops
-- Reliable deployments
-- Quality gates enforcement
-- Automated release management
-
-## Core CI/CD Stages
-
-### 1. Validate Stage (Fastest - < 2 minutes)
-
-**Purpose**: Catch syntax errors and basic issues quickly
-
-**Includes**:
-- Linting
-- Code formatting check
-- Type checking
-- Basic syntax validation
-
-**Example**:
-```yaml
-validate:
-  script:
-    - npm run lint
-    - npm run format:check
-    - npm run type-check
-```
-
-### 2. Build Stage (Fast - < 5 minutes)
-
-**Purpose**: Verify code compiles/builds successfully
-
-**Includes**:
-- Compilation
-- Bundling
-- Asset generation
-- Build artifact creation
-
-**Example**:
-```yaml
-build:
-  script:
-    - npm run build
-  artifacts:
-    paths:
-      - dist/
-    expire_in: 7 days
-```
-
-### 3. Test Stage (Medium - < 15 minutes)
-
-**Purpose**: Verify functionality and quality
-
-**Includes**:
-- Unit tests
-- Integration tests
-- Coverage reporting
-- Security scanning
-
-**Example**:
-```yaml
-test:
-  parallel:
-    matrix:
-      - NODE_VERSION: ['18', '20', '22']
-  script:
-    - npm ci
-    - npm test
-    - npm run test:coverage
-```
-

-
-**Purpose**: Verify end-to-end functionality
-
-**Includes**:
-- E2E tests
-- Visual regression tests
-- Performance tests
-- Smoke tests
-
-**Example**:
-```yaml
-e2e:
-  script:
-    - npm run test:e2e
-  artifacts:
-    when: on_failure
-    paths:
-      - test-results/
-      - screenshots/
-```
-
-### 5. Release Stage (Conditional)
-
-**Purpose**: Publish packages and create releases
-
-**Includes**:
-- Version bumping
-- Changelog generation
-- Package publishing
-- GitHub release creation
-
-**Example**:
-```yaml
-release:
-  only:
-    - tags
-  script:
-    - npm run build
-    - npm publish --access public
-```
-
-### 6. Deploy Stage (Conditional)
-
-**Purpose**: Deploy to environments
-
-**Includes**:
-- Environment-specific deployments
-- Database migrations
-- Health checks
-- Rollback capabilities
-
-**Example**:
-```yaml
-deploy:production:
-  only:
-    - main
-  environment:
-    name: production
-    url: https://example.com
-  script:
-    - deploy.sh production
-  when: manual  # Require manual approval
-```
-
-## CI/CD Pipeline Patterns
-
-### Pattern 1: Linear Pipeline (Simple Projects)
-
-```
-┌─────────┐    ┌───────┐    ┌──────┐    ┌────────┐
-│ Validate│───▶│ Build │───▶│ Test │───▶│ Deploy │
-└─────────┘    └───────┘    └──────┘    └────────┘
-```
-
-**When to use**: Small projects, single environment, simple workflows
-
-**Example** (GitHub Actions):
-```yaml
-jobs:
-  validate:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
-    steps:
-      - run: npm run lint
-
-  build:
-    needs: validate
-    steps:
-      - run: npm run build
-
-  test:
-    needs: build
-    steps:
-      - run: npm test
-
-  deploy:
-    needs: test
-    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
-    steps:
-      - run: deploy.sh
-```
-
-### Pattern 2: Fan-Out/Fan-In (Parallel Testing)
-
-```
-                ┌──────────┐
-                │ Validate │
-                └────┬─────┘
-                     │
-        ┌────────────┼────────────┐
-        ▼            ▼            ▼
-   ┌────────┐  ┌────────┐  ┌────────┐
-   │ Test 18│  │ Test 20│  │ Test 22│
-   └────┬───┘  └────┬───┘  └────┬───┘
-        └────────────┼────────────┘
-                     ▼
-                ┌────────┐
-                │ Deploy │
-                └────────┘
-```
-
-**When to use**: Multi-version testing, cross-platform builds
-
-**Example**:
-```yaml
-test:
-  strategy:
-    matrix:
-      node-version: ['18', '20', '22']
-      os: [ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macos-latest]
-  steps:
-    - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
-      with:
-        node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
-    - run: npm test
-
-deploy:
-  needs: test  # Waits for ALL test jobs
-  steps:
-    - run: deploy.sh
-```
-
-### Pattern 3: Multi-Environment Pipeline
-
-```
-┌──────┐   ┌────┐   ┌──────────┐   ┌────────────┐   ┌────────────┐
-│ Test │──▶│Push│──▶│Deploy Dev│──▶│Deploy Stage│──▶│Deploy Prod │
-└──────┘   └────┘   └──────────┘   └────────────┘   └────────────┘
-                         (auto)        (auto)          (manual)
-```
-
-**When to use**: Production applications, multiple environments
-
-**Example**:
-```yaml
-deploy:dev:
-  environment: development
-  only:
-    - develop
-  script:
-    - deploy.sh dev
-
-deploy:staging:
-  environment: staging
-  only:
-    - main
-  script:
-    - deploy.sh staging
-
-deploy:production:
-  environment: production
-  only:
-    - tags
-  when: manual  # Manual approval required
-  script:
-    - deploy.sh production
-```
-
-### Pattern 4: Trunk-Based Deployment
-
-```
-feature/123 ──▶ main ──▶ Deploy (with feature flags)
-                │
-                └──▶ Rollback if issues
-```
-
-**When to use**: High-velocity teams, continuous deployment
-
-**Key Principles**:
-- Deploy to production on every merge to main
-- Use feature flags for incomplete features
-- Monitor and rollback quickly if issues
-- Small, frequent deployments
-
-**Example**:
-```yaml
-deploy:
-  only:
-    - main
-  script:
-    # Deploy with feature flags
-    - export FEATURE_NEW_UI=false
-    - deploy.sh production
-    # Monitor for 5 minutes
-    - monitor.sh 300
-    # Rollback if errors detected
-    - rollback-if-errors.sh
-```
-
-## Quality Gates
-
-### Gate 1: Pre-Merge Checks (Required)
-
-**Enforce on Pull Requests**:
-- ✅ All tests pass
-- ✅ Code coverage ≥ 95%
-- ✅ Linting passes (no warnings)
-- ✅ Build succeeds
-- ✅ No security vulnerabilities
-
-**Implementation**:
-```yaml
-# GitHub Actions - Require status checks
-# Settings → Branches → Branch protection rules
-# ✓ Require status checks to pass before merging
-#   ✓ lint
-#   ✓ test
-#   ✓ build
-```
-
-### Gate 2: Pre-Deploy Checks (Production)
-
-**Required Before Production Deploy**:
-- ✅ All quality gates passed
-- ✅ Manual approval obtained
-- ✅ Staging tests passed
-- ✅ Security scan completed
-- ✅ Documentation updated
-
-**Implementation**:
-```yaml
-deploy:production:
-  needs: [test, security-scan, docs-check]
-  environment:
-    name: production
-    url: https://example.com
-  when: manual  # Require manual approval
-```
-
-### Gate 3: Post-Deploy Validation
-
-**After Deployment**:
-- ✅ Health check passes
-- ✅ Smoke tests pass
-- ✅ Metrics within thresholds
-- ✅ No error rate increase
-
-**Implementation**:
-```yaml
-deploy:production:
-  script:
-    - deploy.sh production
-    - |
-      # Wait for health check
-      for i in {1..30}; do
-        if curl -f https://example.com/health; then
-          echo "Health check passed"
-          exit 0
-        fi
-        sleep 10
-      done
-      echo "Health check failed"
-      rollback.sh
-      exit 1
-```
-
-## Caching Strategies
-
-### Dependency Caching (Essential)
-
-**Pattern**: Cache dependencies based on lock file hash
-
-```yaml
-# npm
-cache:
-  key: ${{ hashFiles('package-lock.json') }}
-  paths:
-    - node_modules/
-
-# pip
-cache:
-  key: ${{ hashFiles('requirements.txt') }}
-  paths:
-    - .venv/
-
-# cargo
-cache:
-  key: ${{ hashFiles('Cargo.lock') }}
-  paths:
-    - target/
-    - ~/.cargo/
-```
-
-### Build Artifact Caching
-
-**Pattern**: Cache build outputs to avoid rebuilding
-
-```yaml
-cache:
-  key: build-${{ github.sha }}
-  paths:
-    - dist/
-    - .cache/
-```
-
-### Incremental Builds
-
-**Pattern**: Cache intermediate build artifacts
-
-```yaml
-# TypeScript incremental builds
-cache:
-  key: tsbuildinfo-${{ hashFiles('**/*.ts') }}
-  paths:
-    - tsconfig.tsbuildinfo
-
-# Rust incremental builds
-cache:
-  key: rust-incremental-${{ hashFiles('**/*.rs') }}
-  paths:
-    - target/debug/incremental/
-```
-
-## Parallelization Strategies
-
-### 1. Job-Level Parallelization
-
-**Run independent jobs simultaneously**:
-```yaml
-jobs:
-  lint:
-    # Runs immediately
-  test:
-    # Runs immediately (parallel with lint)
-  build:
-    needs: [lint, test]  # Waits for both
-```
-
-### 2. Matrix Parallelization
-
-**Test multiple configurations in parallel**:
-```yaml
-test:
-  strategy:
-    matrix:
-      node: ['18', '20', '22']
-      os: [ubuntu, windows, macos]
-  # Runs 9 jobs in parallel (3 × 3)
-```
-
-### 3. Test Sharding
-
-**Split tests across multiple runners**:
-```yaml
-test:
-  strategy:
-    matrix:
-      shard: [1, 2, 3, 4]
-  script:
-    - npm test -- --shard=${{ matrix.shard }}/4
-```
-
-### 4. Conditional Parallelization
-
-**Only parallelize when needed**:
-```yaml
-test:
-  strategy:
-    matrix:
-      # Only test multiple versions on main branch
-      node: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' && ['18', '20', '22'] || ['20'] }}
-```
-
-## Optimization Patterns
-
-### Pattern 1: Fail Fast
-
-**Stop pipeline immediately on critical failures**:
-```yaml
-strategy:
-  matrix:
-    node: ['18', '20', '22']
-  fail-fast: true  # Stop all jobs if one fails
-```
-
-### Pattern 2: Skip Redundant Builds
-
-**Skip builds for docs-only changes**:
-```yaml
-on:
-  push:
-    paths-ignore:
-      - '**.md'
-      - 'docs/**'
-```
-
-### Pattern 3: Smart Caching
-
-**Multi-level cache fallback**:
-```yaml
-cache:
-  key: ${{ runner.os }}-deps-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}
-  restore-keys: |
-    ${{ runner.os }}-deps-
-    ${{ runner.os }}-
-```
-
-### Pattern 4: Artifact Reuse
-
-**Build once, test/deploy many times**:
-```yaml
-build:
-  script:
-    - npm run build
-  artifacts:
-    paths: [dist/]
-
-test:
-  needs: build
-  script:
-    - npm test  # Uses dist/ from build
-
-deploy:
-  needs: build
-  script:
-    - deploy dist/  # Uses same dist/
-```
-
-## Monitoring and Observability
-
-### Pipeline Metrics to Track
-
-1. **Pipeline Duration**
-   - Target: < 10 minutes for CI
-   - Track: P50, P95, P99
-
-2. **Failure Rate**
-   - Target: < 5% false positives
-   - Track: Flaky tests, infrastructure failures
-
-3. **Deploy Frequency**
-   - Target: Multiple times per day (high-velocity)
-   - Track: Deploys per day/week
-
-4. **Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR)**
-   - Target: < 1 hour
-   - Track: Time from incident to fix deployed
-
-### Notification Patterns
-
-**Slack/Discord Notifications**:
-```yaml
-notify:
-  script:
-    - |
-      curl -X POST $SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL \
-        -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-        -d '{
-          "text": "Pipeline failed: ${{ job.name }}",
-          "channel": "#ci-alerts"
-        }'
-  when: on_failure
-```
-
-## Security Patterns
-
-### Pattern 1: Secrets Rotation
-
-**Rotate secrets regularly**:
-- API keys: Every 90 days
-- Deploy keys: Every 180 days
-- Service account tokens: Every 90 days
-
-### Pattern 2: Least Privilege
-
-**Grant minimal permissions**:
-```yaml
-permissions:
-  contents: read      # Read-only by default
-  pull-requests: write  # Only if needed
-```
-
-### Pattern 3: Dependency Scanning
-
-**Scan dependencies for vulnerabilities**:
-```yaml
-security:
-  script:
-    - npm audit --audit-level=high
-    - snyk test --severity-threshold=high
-```
-
-### Pattern 4: SBOM Generation
-
-**Generate Software Bill of Materials**:
-```yaml
-sbom:
-  script:
-    - cyclonedx-bom -o sbom.json
-  artifacts:
-    paths: [sbom.json]
-```
-
-## Rollback Strategies
-
-### Pattern 1: Blue-Green Deployment
-
-```yaml
-deploy:
-  script:
-    # Deploy to green (inactive) environment
-    - deploy.sh green
-    # Run smoke tests
-    - test-green.sh
-    # Switch traffic to green
-    - switch-traffic.sh green
-    # Keep blue for rollback
-```
-
-### Pattern 2: Canary Deployment
-
-```yaml
-deploy:
-  script:
-    # Deploy to 5% of servers
-    - deploy.sh --canary 5
-    # Monitor for 10 minutes
-    - monitor.sh 600
-    # If OK, deploy to 100%
-    - deploy.sh --all
-```
-
-### Pattern 3: Feature Flags
-
-```yaml
-deploy:
-  script:
-    # Deploy with new feature disabled
-    - export FEATURE_ENABLED=false
-    - deploy.sh
-    # Enable for 10% of users
-    - feature-flag.sh new-feature 10
-```
-
-## Common Pitfalls
-
-1. **❌ No caching**: Slow pipelines
-2. **❌ Sequential testing**: Wasted time
-3. **❌ No fail-fast**: Long feedback loops
-4. **❌ Rebuilding artifacts**: Inefficient
-5. **❌ No quality gates**: Poor code quality
-6. **❌ Manual deployments**: Slow releases
-7. **❌ No rollback plan**: Risky deployments

+**Example**:
+```yaml
+deploy:
+  only:
+    - main
+  script:
+    # Deploy with feature flags
+    - export FEATURE_NEW_UI=false
+    - deploy.sh production
+    # Monitor for 5 minutes
+    - monitor.sh 300
+    # Rollback if errors detected
+    - rollback-if-errors.sh
+```
+
+## Quality Gates
+
+### Gate 1: Pre-Merge Checks (Required)
+
+**Enforce on Pull Requests**:
+- ✅ All tests pass
+- ✅ Code coverage ≥ 95%
+- ✅ Linting passes (no warnings)
+- ✅ Build succeeds
+- ✅ No security vulnerabilities
+
+**Implementation**:
+```yaml
+# GitHub Actions - Require status checks
+# Settings → Branches → Branch protection rules
+# ✓ Require status checks to pass before merging
+#   ✓ lint
+#   ✓ test
+#   ✓ build
+```
+
+### Gate 2: Pre-Deploy Checks (Production)
+
+**Required Before Production Deploy**:
+- ✅ All quality gates passed
+- ✅ Manual approval obtained
+- ✅ Staging tests passed
+- ✅ Security scan completed
+- ✅ Documentation updated
+
+**Implementation**:
+```yaml
+deploy:production:
+  needs: [test, security-scan, docs-check]
+  environment:
+    name: production
+    url: https://example.com
+  when: manual  # Require manual approval
+```
+
+### Gate 3: Post-Deploy Validation
+
+**After Deployment**:
+- ✅ Health check passes
+- ✅ Smoke tests pass
+- ✅ Metrics within thresholds
+- ✅ No error rate increase
+
+**Implementation**:
+```yaml
+deploy:production:
+  script:
+    - deploy.sh production
+    - |
+      # Wait for health check
+      for i in {1..30}; do
+        if curl -f https://example.com/health; then
+          echo "Health check passed"
+          exit 0
+        fi
+        sleep 10
+      done
+      echo "Health check failed"
+      rollback.sh
+      exit 1
+```
+
+## Caching Strategies
+
+### Dependency Caching (Essential)
+
+**Pattern**: Cache dependencies based on lock file hash
+
+```yaml
+# npm
+cache:
+  key: ${{ hashFiles('package-lock.json') }}
+  paths:
+    - node_modules/
+
+# pip
+cache:
+  key: ${{ hashFiles('requirements.txt') }}
+  paths:
+    - .venv/
+
+# cargo
+cache:
+  key: ${{ hashFiles('Cargo.lock') }}
+  paths:
+    - target/
+    - ~/.cargo/
+```
+
+### Build Artifact Caching
+
+**Pattern**: Cache build outputs to avoid rebuilding
+
+```yaml
+cache:
+  key: build-${{ github.sha }}
+  paths:
+    - dist/
+    - .cache/
+```
+
+### Incremental Builds
+
+**Pattern**: Cache intermediate build artifacts
+
+```yaml
+# TypeScript incremental builds
+cache:
+  key: tsbuildinfo-${{ hashFiles('**/*.ts') }}
+  paths:
+    - tsconfig.tsbuildinfo
+
+# Rust incremental builds
+cache:
+  key: rust-incremental-${{ hashFiles('**/*.rs') }}
+  paths:
+    - target/debug/incremental/
+```
+
+## Parallelization Strategies
+
+### 1. Job-Level Parallelization
+
+**Run independent jobs simultaneously**:
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  lint:
+    # Runs immediately
+  test:
+    # Runs immediately (parallel with lint)
+  build:
+    needs: [lint, test]  # Waits for both
+```
+
+### 2. Matrix Parallelization
+
+**Test multiple configurations in parallel**:
+```yaml
+test:
+  strategy:
+    matrix:
+      node: ['18', '20', '22']
+      os: [ubuntu, windows, macos]
+  # Runs 9 jobs in parallel (3 × 3)
+```
+
+### 3. Test Sharding
+
+**Split tests across multiple runners**:
+```yaml
+test:
+  strategy:
+    matrix:
+      shard: [1, 2, 3, 4]
+  script:
+    - npm test -- --shard=${{ matrix.shard }}/4
+```
+
+### 4. Conditional Parallelization
+
+**Only parallelize when needed**:
+```yaml
+test:
+  strategy:
+    matrix:
+      # Only test multiple versions on main branch
+      node: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' && ['18', '20', '22'] || ['20'] }}
+```
+
+## Optimization Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Fail Fast
+
+**Stop pipeline immediately on critical failures**:
+```yaml
+strategy:
+  matrix:
+    node: ['18', '20', '22']
+  fail-fast: true  # Stop all jobs if one fails
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Skip Redundant Builds
+
+**Skip builds for docs-only changes**:
+```yaml
+on:
+  push:
+    paths-ignore:
+      - '**.md'
+      - 'docs/**'
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Smart Caching
+
+**Multi-level cache fallback**:
+```yaml
+cache:
+  key: ${{ runner.os }}-deps-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}
+  restore-keys: |
+    ${{ runner.os }}-deps-
+    ${{ runner.os }}-
+```
+
+### Pattern 4: Artifact Reuse
+
+**Build once, test/deploy many times**:
+```yaml
+build:
+  script:
+    - npm run build
+  artifacts:
+    paths: [dist/]
+
+test:
+  needs: build
+  script:
+    - npm test  # Uses dist/ from build
+
+deploy:
+  needs: build
+  script:
+    - deploy dist/  # Uses same dist/
+```
+
+## Monitoring and Observability
+
+### Pipeline Metrics to Track
+
+1. **Pipeline Duration**
+   - Target: < 10 minutes for CI
+   - Track: P50, P95, P99
+
+2. **Failure Rate**
+   - Target: < 5% false positives
+   - Track: Flaky tests, infrastructure failures
+
+3. **Deploy Frequency**
+   - Target: Multiple times per day (high-velocity)
+   - Track: Deploys per day/week
+
+4. **Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR)**
+   - Target: < 1 hour
+   - Track: Time from incident to fix deployed
+
+### Notification Patterns
+
+**Slack/Discord Notifications**:
+```yaml
+notify:
+  script:
+    - |
+      curl -X POST $SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL \
+        -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+        -d '{
+          "text": "Pipeline failed: ${{ job.name }}",
+          "channel": "#ci-alerts"
+        }'
+  when: on_failure
+```
+
+## Security Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Secrets Rotation
+
+**Rotate secrets regularly**:
+- API keys: Every 90 days
+- Deploy keys: Every 180 days
+- Service account tokens: Every 90 days
+
+### Pattern 2: Least Privilege
+
+**Grant minimal permissions**:
+```yaml
+permissions:
+  contents: read      # Read-only by default
+  pull-requests: write  # Only if needed
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Dependency Scanning
+
+**Scan dependencies for vulnerabilities**:
+```yaml
+security:
+  script:
+    - npm audit --audit-level=high
+    - snyk test --severity-threshold=high
+```
+
+### Pattern 4: SBOM Generation
+
+**Generate Software Bill of Materials**:
+```yaml
+sbom:
+  script:
+    - cyclonedx-bom -o sbom.json
+  artifacts:
+    paths: [sbom.json]
+```
+
+## Rollback Strategies
+
+### Pattern 1: Blue-Green Deployment
+
+```yaml
+deploy:
+  script:
+    # Deploy to green (inactive) environment
+    - deploy.sh green
+    # Run smoke tests
+    - test-green.sh
+    # Switch traffic to green
+    - switch-traffic.sh green
+    # Keep blue for rollback
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Canary Deployment
+
+```yaml
+deploy:
+  script:
+    # Deploy to 5% of servers
+    - deploy.sh --canary 5
+    # Monitor for 10 minutes
+    - monitor.sh 600
+    # If OK, deploy to 100%
+    - deploy.sh --all
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Feature Flags
+
+```yaml
+deploy:
+  script:
+    # Deploy with new feature disabled
+    - export FEATURE_ENABLED=false
+    - deploy.sh
+    # Enable for 10% of users
+    - feature-flag.sh new-feature 10
+```
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+1. **❌ No caching**: Slow pipelines
+2. **❌ Sequential testing**: Wasted time
+3. **❌ No fail-fast**: Long feedback loops
+4. **❌ Rebuilding artifacts**: Inefficient
+5. **❌ No quality gates**: Poor code quality
+6. **❌ Manual deployments**: Slow releases
+7. **❌ No rollback plan**: Risky deployments
