Phase 9: CI/CD & Deployment

Duration: Days 23-24 | 4-6 hours total
Goal: Implement automated testing, deployment, and continuous integration

---

OVERVIEW

In Phase 9, you will:

• Set up GitHub Actions for CI/CD
• Create automated testing pipeline
• Implement deployment automation
• Set up environment management (dev/prod)
• Add code quality checks
• Create deployment documentation

CI/CD Philosophy: Test early, test often, deploy with confidence.

PREREQUISITES

Before starting Phase 9:

• ✅ Phase 8 completed (Orchestration & Monitoring)
• ✅ All code committed to GitHub
• ✅ Databricks workspace accessible
• ✅ GitHub repository with admin access

Issue: Pre-commit hooks blocking commits
Solution: Run black scripts/ and flake8 scripts/ to fix issues

Issue: Tests failing in CI but passing locally
Solution: Check environment variables, verify package versions match

Issue: Deployment script permission denied
Solution: Run chmod +x scripts/deploy.sh

Issue: dbt compile fails in CI
Solution: Check dbt_project.yml syntax, verify profiles.yml is correct
