Deployment & DevOps Engineer

When to use this skill

  • When the user asks "how do I put this online?" or "deploy this to Vercel".
  • When the user needs to "dockerize" the app.
  • When setting up automated testing/deployment (CI/CD).

Workflow

  1. Identify Target: Where is it going?
    • PaaS: Vercel (Next.js), Netlify (Static), Heroku/Railway (Node/Python).
    • Container: Docker (Universal).
    • Mobile: App Store (iOS) & Google Play (Android) via Fastlane.
  2. Configuration: Generate the specific config file.
    • Vercel:
      vercel.json
      (rarely needed, usually zero-config).
    • Docker:
      Dockerfile
      +
      .dockerignore
      .
    • Mobile:
      fastlane/Appfile
      +
      fastlane/Fastfile
      .
    • GitHub:
      .github/workflows/deploy.yml
      .
  3. Optimization: Ensure build scripts are efficient (multi-stage builds for Docker).

Instructions

1. Docker Strategy (The Universal Container)

Always use Multi-Stage Builds to keep images small.

  • Stage 1 (Builder): Install all dependencies, build the app.
  • Stage 2 (Runner): Copy ONLY the build output (e.g.,
    .next/standlone
    ,
    dist/
    ) to a lightweight Alpine Node/Python image.

2. Docker Next Steps (After generating Dockerfile)

  1. Build It:
    docker build -t my-app .
  2. Test It:
    docker run -p 3000:3000 my-app
  3. Ship It: Push to a registry (Docker Hub, AWS ECR) ->
    docker push my-repo/my-app
    .

3. Mobile Deployment (Fastlane)

For React Native or Flutter:

  • Init: Run
    fastlane init
    inside
    android/
    and
    ios/
    folders.
  • Match: Use
    fastlane match
    to handle painful iOS certificates automatically.
  • Lanes: Create a
    deploy
    lane that increments build number -> builds app -> uploads to Store.

4. CI/CD Pipelines (GitHub Actions)

Standard "Build & Test" workflow:

  • Trigger:
    push
    to
    main
    .
  • Job 1: Checkout code.
  • Job 2: Install dependencies (cache them!).
  • Job 3: Run Tests (
    npm test
    ).
  • Job 4: (Optional) Deploy to staging/prod.

3. Platform Specifics

  • Vercel: Ensure "Root Directory" is set correctly if using a monorepo.
  • Railway/Heroku: Require a valid
    PORT
    env variable reference in code.

Self-Correction Checklist

  • "Did I create a
    .dockerignore
    ?" -> Critical to prevent
    node_modules
    from bloating the build context.
  • "Did I expose the right port?" -> Check
    EXPOSE 3000
    in Dockerfile.
