Spring Boot Delivery Pipeline

Own the path from a commit to a running revision: stage order, cache correctness, quality gates, secret handling, image publication, promotion, verification, and rollback. The pipeline is where the immutability of an artifact is established, so a shortcut here is a production incident with a long lead time.

When to use

• Writing or restructuring the GitHub Actions workflow for a Boot service.
• Builds are slow, or the Maven cache misses on every run.
• Integration tests run in the wrong stage, or nowhere in the pipeline.
• Secrets are needed in a build and there is no safe path for them.
• Deciding between rolling, blue-green, and canary deployment.
• Adding a scan gate, SBOM generation, or image signing.
• A deploy succeeded and the service is broken, and there is no quick rollback.
