CI/CD & Deployment Automation

CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Coolify: reliable and fast deployments.

Manual deployments are a constant source of stress and errors: a missed step, a file copied wrongly, a missing environment variable, the wrong version in production. The bigger your project, the higher the risk.

CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment) automates the full cycle: on each push (or merge), a pipeline builds the application, runs tests and deploys to the target environment. Fewer human errors, more frequent releases, consistent quality.

We set up CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and Coolify: Docker image builds, automated deployment on OVH. Directus, Astro and your applications are deployed within minutes after each validated change.

CI/CD & Deployment Automation

How CI/CD works

CI (Continuous Integration): build and test automatically on every code change. CD (Continuous Deployment): deploy validated versions without manual intervention. The pipeline chains steps (fetch, build, test, deploy) with one goal: ship often, with quality.

Typical pipeline

  • Build: Docker image or static bundle build.
  • Tests: unit, integration, quality checks.
  • Deploy: Coolify webhook or server deployment script.

GitHub Actions + Coolify

GitHub Actions triggers build and tests on each push; on success, a webhook calls Coolify to deploy the new version on OVH. We configure workflows, secrets and notifications. Deployment is fully automated.

Idee-web expertise

We design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for your projects: build, tests, Coolify deployment, rollback. You ship more often and more calmly, with full traceability of each version.

Continuous integration: automated build and tests

Continuous integration (CI) automates building your application on every code change. On each push to your Git repo, a pipeline fetches the code, installs dependencies, compiles and prepares the deployment artefact (Docker image, static build).

Build errors are caught immediately, before they reach production.

Automated tests run on every build: unit tests, integration tests, code quality checks (linting, type-checking). If a test fails, deployment is blocked and the team is notified immediately.

We set up the right tests for your project: no over-coverage, but the essential checks that protect quality.

Each build produces a versioned artefact: tagged Docker image, dated static bundle. This traceability lets you know exactly which version is in production, compare versions and roll back instantly if needed.

Quality and traceability of each delivery are guaranteed by the CI pipeline.

Continuous deployment with Coolify

Continuous deployment (CD) extends CI: once the build is validated and tests pass, the application is automatically deployed to production or staging. No more manual deployment, no more oversights, no gap between what is tested and what is live.

We configure CD so that each merge to the main branch triggers a reliable, traceable deployment.

Coolify receives a webhook from GitHub Actions on each successful build. It fetches the new version, deploys it to the OVH server, checks application health and switches traffic. On failure, rollback to the previous version is automatic.

This mechanism ensures deployments with zero downtime.

We configure separate environments: development, staging (pre-production) and production. The CI/CD pipeline can deploy to each environment depending on the Git branch. Environment variables and secrets are isolated per environment.

This separation ensures tests run on an environment that matches production, with no risk to your real data.

Setting up CI/CD with us

We design your CI/CD pipeline around your project: technologies used (Astro, Directus, Node.js), deployment constraints (OVH, Coolify), testing and validation needs. The pipeline is documented and versioned in your Git repo.

Each step is designed to be fast, reliable and understandable by your team.

GitHub Actions workflows are configured with best practices: dependency cache for fast builds, encrypted secrets, notifications (Slack, email) on failure. Integration with Coolify is tested and validated end to end.

You get a robust production pipeline, not a prototype.

We train your teams on how the pipeline works: understanding steps, reading logs, triggering a deployment, performing a rollback. Technical documentation covers the full process and emergency procedures.

Our post-delivery support handles maintenance and evolution of the pipeline to your needs.
