Description
Description
Create a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions for the analytics microservice. The pipeline must validate code quality and ensure safe deployments through a staged flow that prevents broken or insecure code from reaching production.
Pipeline stages:
- Build verification
- Static analysis / bad-practice detection
- Test execution (unit + integration)
- Basic security checks
- Artifact generation
- Staged deployment flow (dev → staging → production gate)
Improvement plan: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hVfIurPqAJJ1PN1EalmvrWXnGNt5sY21MI-409lrXpU/edit?tab=t.klqavlz4cis7#heading=h.8vek9yxw
Parent epic: #35048
Acceptance Criteria
- GitHub Actions workflow file created for the analytics microservice
- Build verification step: fails fast on compilation errors
- Static analysis / bad-practice detection (e.g. Checkstyle, SpotBugs, or equivalent)
- Test execution: unit tests and integration tests (Testcontainers) run on every PR
- Basic security checks (e.g. dependency vulnerability scan via OWASP or similar)
- Artifact generation: Docker image or JAR produced on successful build
- Staged deployment flow: broken or insecure builds cannot reach production
- Pipeline runs on PR open/update and on merge to main
Additional Context
- Source task: Task 27 (Set up a Baseline CI/CD Pipeline with GitHub Actions) from the improvement plan
- Blocked by: #35050 (ingest code refactor), #35053 (unit tests), #35054 (integration tests)

Research direction
No workflow file or test path is named. Start with the improvement plan and parent epic #35048, then inspect the analytics microservice and blocked issues #35050, #35053, and #35054. Done means a GitHub Actions workflow runs build, analysis, tests, security checks, artifact generation, and gated dev-to-production deployment on pull requests and merges to main.
