# GCP Node.js CI/CD Pipeline Generation
This Skill generates production-ready CI/CD pipelines for Node.js and Angular applications deployed to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) via Cloud Build.
## When to Use This Skill
- Creating new Node.js or Angular services
- Setting up deployment pipelines
- Configuring multi-environment deployments (dev, staging, production)
- Implementing security scanning and quality gates
- Deploying containerized applications to GKE
## Organizational Context
### Build Standards
- **Node.js versions**: 18.x, 20.x (LTS only)
- **Package manager**: npm (lock file required)
- **Build process**: Multi-stage Docker builds
- **Test coverage**: Minimum 80% for production deployments
- **Linting**: ESLint with organizational config
### Security Requirements
- **Dependency scanning**: Snyk (0 critical vulnerabilities allowed)
- **Container scanning**: Trivy (no high/critical CVEs)
- **SAST**: SonarQube (Quality Gate must pass)
- **SBOM**: Generate and upload to Artifact Registry
- **Secrets**: Must use GCP Secret Manager (never hardcoded)
### Deployment Strategies
- **Development**: Auto-deploy on commit
- **Staging**: Manual approval required
- **Production**: Canary deployment (5% → 50% → 100%)
- **Rollback**: Automatic on health check failures or error rate >5%
## Instructions
### Step 1: Analyze Service Context
First, determine the service type and requirements by checking:
```bash
# Check package.json for framework
cat package.json | jq '.dependencies'
# Identify service type
if [ -f "angular.json" ]; then
SERVICE_TYPE="angular"
elif grep -q "express" package.json; then
SERVICE_TYPE="express"
elif grep -q "@nestjs" package.json; then
SERVICE_TYPE="nestjs"
else
SERVICE_TYPE="nodejs-generic"
fi
```
### Step 2: Generate Cloud Build Configuration
Use the appropriate template from `templates/cloudbuild/`:
**For Node.js services:**
```yaml
# See templates/cloudbuild/nodejs-service.yaml
steps:
- name: 'node:${NODE_VERSION}'
entrypoint: npm
args: ['ci']
- name: 'node:${NODE_VERSION}'
entrypoint: npm
args: ['run', 'build']
- name: 'node:${NODE_VERSION}'
entrypoint: npm
args: ['test']
# Security scanning - see templates/security/
# Docker build - see templates/docker/
# GKE deployment - see templates/kubernetes/
```
**For Angular applications:**
```yaml
# See templates/cloudbuild/angular-app.yaml
# Includes ng build with optimization flags
# Static asset handling
# Environment-specific configurations
```
### Step 3: Implement Security Scanning
Always include all three security scans:
```yaml
# Snyk dependency scan
- name: 'snyk/snyk:node'
entrypoint: 'sh'
args:
- '-c'
- 'snyk test --severity-threshold=high || exit 1'
secretEnv: ['SNYK_TOKEN']
# Trivy container scan
- name: 'aquasec/trivy'
args: ['image', '--severity', 'HIGH,CRITICAL', '${IMAGE_NAME}']
# SonarQube SAST
- name: 'sonarsource/sonar-scanner-cli'
args: ['sonar-scanner', '-Dsonar.qualitygate.wait=true']
```
Use validator at `validators/security-policy.rego` to verify all scans are present.
### Step 4: Generate Kubernetes Manifests
Create deployment, service, and HPA configurations:
```yaml
# See templates/kubernetes/deployment.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: ${SERVICE_NAME}
namespace: ${NAMESPACE}
spec:
replicas: ${REPLICAS}
template:
spec:
containers:
- name: ${SERVICE_NAME}
image: ${IMAGE_NAME}
resources:
requests:
cpu: "100m"
memory: "128Mi"
limits:
cpu: "500m"
memory: "512Mi"
livenessProbe:
httpGet:
path: /health
port: 8080
initialDelaySeconds: 30
periodSeconds: 10
readinessProbe:
httpGet:
path: /ready
port: 8080
initialDelaySeconds: 5
periodSeconds: 5
```
### Step 5: Configure Multi-Environment Deployment
Set up deployment strategy per environment:
**Development:**
- Auto-deploy on every commit
- No approval required
- Rolling update strategy
**Staging:**
- Manual approval required (team lead)
- Smoke tests must pass
- Rolling update strategy
**Production:**
- Two approvals required (team lead + platform lead)
- Canary deployment strategy
- Automated rollback on metrics degradation
### Step 6: Add Monitoring and Observability
Include Cloud Monitoring configuration:
```yaml
# Metrics to collect
metrics:
- http_requests_total
- http_request_duration_seconds
- http_errors_total
# Alerts to configure
alerts:
- error_rate_high (>5% for 5 minutes)
- latency_p99_high (>2s for 5 minutes)
- pod_restart_frequent (>3 in 10 minutes)
```
### Step 7: Generate Documentation
Create comprehensive documentation:
```markdown
# Service Name
## CI/CD Pipeline
This service uses the following deployment pipeline:
- Build: Multi-stage Docker with Node.js ${VERSION}
- Test: Unit tests with 80%+ coverage
- Security: Snyk + Trivy + SonarQube
- Deploy: Canary to GKE with automated rollback
## Deployment
**Development:**
- Auto-deployed on commit to main
- URL: https://dev.example.com
**Production:**
- Requires 2 approvals
- Canary deployment (5% → 50% → 100%)
- URL: https://api.example.com
## Rollback
If deployment fails:
```bash
platform-cli rollback payment-api --to-version previous
```
```
## Validation Rules
Before completing generation, validate using `validators/security-policy.rego`:
```rego
# Validation checks
package cloudbuild
# Rule: Security scans required
deny[msg] {
not input.steps[_].name == "snyk/snyk:node"
msg = "Snyk dependency scan is required"
}
deny[msg] {
not input.steps[_].name == "aquasec/trivy"
msg = "Trivy container scan is required"
}
# Rule: Secrets must be in Secret Manager
deny[msg] {
input.steps[_].args[_] contains "password"
msg = "Hardcoded secrets detected. Use Secret Manager."
}
# Rule: Production requires approval
deny[msg] {
input.environment == "production"
not input.approvals
msg = "Production deployments require approval"
}
```
## Examples
For complete working examples, see:
- `examples/payment-service/` - Express API with PCI compliance
- `examples/user-api/` - NestJS service with authentication
- `examples/frontend-app/` - Angular SPA with SSR
## Troubleshooting
**Build fails with "npm ci" error:**
- Ensure package-lock.json is committed
- Check Node.js version matches package.json engines
**Security scan fails:**
- Review Snyk dashboard for vulnerabilities
- Update dependencies to patch CVEs
- Request exception if no patch available
**Deployment fails:**
- Check GKE cluster has sufficient resources
- Verify namespace exists
- Confirm image was pushed to Artifact Registry
**Canary rollback triggered:**
- Check Cloud Monitoring for error rates
- Review logs in Cloud Logging
- Validate health check endpoints
