Release v0.1.1 – Optimized Backend and CI Pipeline

Overview

This release, v0.1.1, introduces a major architectural improvement by consolidating multiple backend services into a single, streamlined application. Additionally, enhancements to the Docker setup and CI/CD pipeline significantly reduce complexity, improve build efficiency, and streamline deployment workflows.

---

Notable Changes

🛠 Backend Service Consolidation

• Unified Service Entry Point: All backend services (fetch_company_details, fetch_infra_types, and fetch_internal_env_details) are now combined into a single main.go file, running on port 8080. This change simplifies application management and reduces resource consumption.
• Optimized Dockerfile: A single, multi-stage Dockerfile now builds and deploys the consolidated backend services. This update reduces the Docker image size and improves the build speed by caching dependencies and minimizing layers.

🚀 Enhanced CI/CD Pipeline

• CI Pipeline Overhaul: The GitHub Actions workflow has been refactored to support the new single Docker image build process:
  • Automatic CI Build: On each push or pull request, the CI pipeline builds the Docker image with a date-based tag for testing.
  • Manual Build and Release: Users can manually trigger a Docker build and push it to Docker Hub with a specified release version.
• Improved Docker Tagging: Each Docker image now uses consistent, versioned tags, simplifying version management and tracking.

🔄 Improved User Interface (UI) Functionality

• UI Error Handling and Loading Indicators: Enhancements to the UI provide better feedback on data loading and errors, ensuring users are informed during network or backend issues.
• Consolidated API Endpoints: Frontend configurations have been updated to point to the unified backend, simplifying requests and reducing CORS complexities.

---

Enhancements

• Reduced Complexity: With all services in a single Docker image, deployment and scaling are now more straightforward, requiring fewer resources.
• Better Developer Experience: Simplified codebase and consolidated infrastructure make it easier for developers to contribute and maintain the application.

Upgrade Notes

1. Deploy the new Docker image: Pull the latest image tagged as v0.1.1 or latest from Docker Hub:

   docker pull sam123ben/infra-dashboard-backend:v0.1.1

### **Update Deployment Scripts**  
If you’re using orchestration tools (like Docker Compose or Kubernetes), update your scripts to use the single backend service image rather than separate ones.

---

### **Getting Started**

To pull and run the latest backend release locally:

bash
docker run -p 8080:8080 sam123ben/infra-dashboard-backend:v0.1.1

This release represents a significant step forward in application efficiency and scalability, bringing substantial performance benefits and a more maintainable architecture. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release!
