How this works

This is a custom solution to a complex problem: How to show people what I do and know!

Read the project outline below:

Goals

• Define entire project as code
• One git push builds everything
• Docker container is built with site self-contained

Technology used

Project Breakdown

As I progress I want to be able to apply to new jobs and make the hiring process super simple as there tends to be this 20-minute conversation on what tech you know vs don't know, as well as asking for a CV.

As an engineer, I fix a problem in a way that fits each case, so opposed to creating a CV site, this documentation has been built.

What I did?

I personally was responsible for:

• Picking a CMS
• Picking a CI/CD Pipeline provider
• Building the content
• Writing terraform for:
  • IAM
    • Service accounts
    • Custom roles
    • Infrastructure
• Container security

How it works

1. Changes are made locally
2. Changed are commited and pushed
3. Codefresh pipeline runs on all commits
4. Pipeline clones repo
5. Set's Fly.io API Key
6. Builds docker image of site and pushes it to Fly.io Registry
7. Deploys the site

Check the below screenshot for the pipeline

Issues I had to overcome

Deployment time was too long

So on codefresh, it runs steps to deploy what ever you're feeding it. And it can take a while sometimes.

Originally the site was being built, pushed to Google artifact registry and then copied to my Web server.

The issue came around that as it's copying a lot of small files, it's super slow.

By moving to a platform like Fly.io, where containers are hosted, we get the benefits of docker images and layers.
