What problem does it solve? Setting up repeatable, safe deployment pipelines is error-prone: teams ship with manual deploys, missing health checks, untested rollbacks, and secrets leaked into images. This Skill provides concrete patterns for choosing a platform, containerizing apps, and building CI/CD pipelines with zero-downtime strategies. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Platform Selection Guidance: Compares Vercel, Railway, Fly.io, AWS ECS/Fargate, Google Cloud Run, and Kubernetes by workload type, deploy model, and scaling behavior. - Docker & Kubernetes Patterns: Provides multi-stage Dockerfile templates, non-root container security rules, resource requests/limits, liveness/readiness probes, and HPA configuration. - Deployment Strategies & CI/CD Design: Covers rolling, blue-green, canary, and feature-flag rollouts plus a full pipeline stage sequence from lint to production smoke tests. - Use Case: When asked to "set up a deployment pipeline for a Next.js app", it recommends Vercel or a GitHub Actions pipeline with staging, E2E tests, and a zero-downtime checklist. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to set up a CI/CD deployment pipeline with Docker and zero-downtime rollback for your application.
