Deployment Guide

This section covers the complete deployment pipeline and processes used to deploy services to the Wealthy platform.

Overview

The Wealthy platform uses a modern CI/CD pipeline with the following key components:

• Source Control: GitHub with fork-based development
• Build System: AWS CodeBuild for container builds
• Container Registry: AWS ECR (Elastic Container Registry)
• Deployment: ArgoCD for GitOps-based Kubernetes deployments
• Runtime: Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)

Deployment Flow

Each developer follows this standardized process:

1. Fork & Pull Request: Developer forks the main repository and creates a PR
2. Code Review: PR undergoes review and testing
3. Merge: Once approved, PR is merged to master branch
4. Build Trigger: Developer triggers deployment in AWS
5. Container Build: AWS CodeBuild creates Docker image from master branch
6. Registry Push: Built image is pushed to AWS ECR
7. GitOps Deployment: ArgoCD detects ECR push and deploys to GKE

Key Features

• Container-based: All services run in Docker containers
• GitOps: Declarative deployment management
• Multi-environment: Support for dev, staging, and production
• Rollback Capability: Easy rollback to previous versions

Helm Chart Repository

All deployment configurations, Helm charts, and Kubernetes manifests are centrally managed in the dedicated repository:

• Repository: https://github.com/wealthy/helm-chart-repository/
• Purpose: Contains all deployment Helm charts and configuration settings
• Access: Contact mahesh@wealthy.in for repository access
• Usage: Used by ArgoCD for GitOps-based deployments to Kubernetes clusters

This repository serves as the single source of truth for all deployment configurations across development, staging, and production environments.
