Docker Multi-Stage Pipeline

Overview This project leverages Docker Multi-Stage builds and GitHub Actions to automate the daily build and deployment of our website code. The pipeline runs scheduled tasks every day during non-business hours, ensuring the application remains up-to-date without impacting production operations. The latest Docker image is pushed to Docker Hub for easy distribution and deployment.

Key Features

Automated Daily Builds

Uses GitHub Actions to build the application image every day.

Multi-Stage Docker Builds

Optimizes image size and enhances security by separating build and runtime stages.

Push to Docker Hub

Publishes the latest image to Docker Hub for seamless deployment.

Scheduled Execution During Off-Hours

Runs outside business hours to minimize downtime and avoid service disruption.

Business Impact

By implementing this pipeline, we:

Reduce the risk of downtime for web services. Maintain consistent and reliable deployments. Improve operational efficiency. Ensure updates happen seamlessly outside of peak business hours.
