GitLab Microservices CI/CD
Scalable parent-child CI pipelines for cloud-native microservices
Project Overview
Designed and implemented a production-grade CI/CD architecture for a cloud-native microservices platform consisting of 12 independent services written in multiple languages. The solution uses GitLab parent-child pipelines, reusable CI templates, and intelligent change detection to deliver fast, scalable, and secure pipelines.
Key Achievements
- Built CI pipelines for 12 microservices using parent-child pipeline strategy
- Centralized reusable GitLab CI templates following DRY principles
- Enabled multi-language CI support (Go, Java, Node.js, Python, C#)
- Optimized pipelines using file-change-based conditional triggers
- Integrated SonarQube quality gates for all services
- Implemented Trivy filesystem and container image vulnerability scanning
- Automated Docker image builds and registry publishing per service
- Improved CI execution time through parallelism and selective execution
- Built a scalable, auditable CI platform aligned with DevOps best practices
