                Container Orchestration
                Docker: Containerization platform
Kubernetes: Container orchestration (optional)
ECS Fargate: Serverless container platform
Auto Scaling: Dynamic resource allocation

            

                Load Balancing & Networking
                Application Load Balancer: Layer 7 load balancing
Network Load Balancer: Layer 4 load balancing
VPC: Virtual private cloud networking
Security Groups: Firewall rules and access control

            

CI/CD Pipeline

                GitHub Actions Workflow
                Code Push: Automatic trigger on git push
Testing: Automated unit and integration tests
Security Scanning: Vulnerability and dependency checks
Build: Docker image creation and registry push
Deploy: Automated deployment to staging/production

            

                Deployment Strategies
                Blue-Green Deployment: Zero-downtime deployments
Canary Deployment: Gradual rollout with monitoring
Rolling Deployment: Incremental service updates
Feature Flags: Dynamic feature toggling

            

                Quality Gates
                Code Quality: Linting, formatting, and complexity checks
Test Coverage: Minimum test coverage requirements
Security: SAST/DAST security scanning
Performance: Load testing and performance validation

            

Infrastructure as Code
