6. Continuous integration

Date: 2021-08-04 (Updated 2021-12-27)

Status

Accepted

Context

For improvement of our software engineering processes, we should implement continuous integration.

Decision

We will use CircleCI as our continuous integration platform.

Consequences

Using CircleCI for continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) will make the ATO process simpler, since it has a FedRAMP ATO on file.

Notes

• CircleCI is used to automate builds, testing, and deploys from GitHub.
• MFA is enforced via approval and merging of code changes by TDP's privileged users (i.e. sys admins).
