END-TO-END CI/CD DEPLOYMENT OF RESTFUL MICROSERVICES IN THE CLOUD

Implementing RESTful microservices across various cloud platforms necessitates automation to guarantee consistency, security, and scalability. Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines optimize the integration, testing, and deployment of services, thereby minimizing manual intervention and operational risks. This study introduces a comprehensive framework for fully automated CI/CD processes, integrating Infrastructure as Code (IaC), security protocols, and monitoring software solutions. The proposal tackles crucial issues like multi-cloud compatibility, vendor lock-in, and API versioning, and suggests solutions to enhance deployment speed and reliability. This research assesses the effects of automated pipelines on efficiency, security, and regulatory compliance via case studies and performance analysis, providing hands-on knowledge for building cloud-native applications.
