Automate Application Deployment with CI/CD

DEVOPS-DEPLOY ("Da Ideia para Producao") is a critical-risk DevOps and deployment skill covering Docker, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, AWS Lambda, SAM, Terraform, infrastructure as code, and monitoring. It activates for tasks like dockerizing an application, configuring a CI/CD pipeline, deploying to AWS Lambda or ECS, setting up GitHub Actions or Terraform, planning rollbacks, blue-green deploys, health checks, or alerting.

It ships concrete, ready-to-use templates rather than abstract advice: a multi-stage Python Dockerfile with a non-root builder stage and a HEALTHCHECK directive, a Docker Compose file wiring an app service to Postgres and Redis for local development, a SAM template.yaml defining a serverless Lambda function backed by a pay-per-request DynamoDB table with TTL, and a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests with coverage, security-scans the code with bandit and safety, and then builds and deploys via SAM on merge to main - including a Telegram notification step on successful deploy. It also provides a FastAPI /health endpoint returning uptime and version, and a CloudWatch alarm helper (via boto3) that pages on Lambda error thresholds.

Deploys run through the SAM CLI:

sam build
sam deploy --guided        # first time
sam deploy                 # subsequent deploys
sam deploy --no-confirm-changeset --no-fail-on-empty-changeset  # fast, no confirmation
sam logs -n AuriFunction --tail
sam delete

Before calling a deploy production-ready, the skill runs through a checklist: environment variables via Secrets Manager (never hardcoded), a responding health check endpoint, structured JSON logs with a request ID, rate limiting, CORS restricted to authorized domains, automatic DynamoDB backups, an appropriately sized Lambda timeout (10-30s), CloudWatch alarms for errors and latency, a documented rollback plan, and a load test before launch. It also exposes shorthand commands: /docker-setup, /sam-deploy, /ci-cd-setup, /monitoring-setup, /production-checklist, and /rollback.

Use this skill for specialized DevOps and deployment work matching its domain - Docker, CI/CD, AWS Lambda/SAM, Terraform, or production monitoring. Do not use it for tasks unrelated to DevOps deployment, when a simpler and more specific tool can already handle the request, or when the user needs general-purpose assistance without domain-specific expertise. Review all suggestions before applying them to production code, provide clear and specific project context for accurate analysis, and combine it with complementary skills for a fuller picture rather than relying on it alone. Do not treat its output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review, and stop to ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

Backend and DevOps engineers deploying Python/FastAPI-based applications to AWS, particularly serverless Lambda workloads via SAM, who want a production checklist and working CI/CD, monitoring, and containerization templates rather than building them from scratch.
