About This Architecture

End-to-end CI/CD release pipeline orchestrating code from developer commit through staging validation to production deployment across multiple availability zones. Developer pushes trigger a webhook that initiates Jenkins or GitHub Actions, executing build, SAST scanning, unit tests, and artifact storage in ECR/ACR and S3/Nexus. Staging deployment runs integration and performance tests with automated pass/fail gates; manual approval gates container images before production rollout behind WAF, CloudFront CDN, and ALB to redundant app servers with RDS primary-replica database and CloudWatch monitoring. This architecture demonstrates production-grade release governance, automated quality gates, multi-AZ resilience, and rollback capabilities at both staging and production tiers. Fork and customize this diagram on Diagrams.so to match your Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI configuration and artifact storage strategy. The manual approval gate between staging and production enforces human oversight while automated testing eliminates manual regression testing overhead.

How do I design a CI/CD pipeline that safely deploys code from development through staging to production with automated testing and manual approval gates?

This diagram shows a complete CI/CD pipeline where developers commit to a remote repository, triggering Jenkins or GitHub Actions to build, scan code quality, run unit tests, and store artifacts in ECR/ACR and S3/Nexus. The pipeline deploys to staging, runs integration and performance tests, and gates on results before a manual approval step releases to production behind WAF, CDN, and ALB across m
