- Create unified workflow for all 7 custom containers - Implement path-based change detection for selective builds - Add manual workflow dispatch for specific service builds - Disable legacy workflow to prevent conflicts - Support both quicklookup/ and synmetrix/ registries
- Update all @cubejs-backend packages from 1.3.23 to 1.3.85 using npm update - Includes latest features, performance improvements, and bug fixes - All packages tested and working correctly
- Add comprehensive build summary job that runs after all builds - Display built images, their tags, and push status in GitHub Actions UI - Show build success/failure status for each service - Include commit SHA, branch tags, and latest tag information - Use GitHub Step Summary for rich markdown formatting
- Document recent v1.3.85 upgrade process and changes - Include architecture overview and configuration details - Add development, Docker, and Kubernetes deployment info - Note security considerations and next steps
Focus only on actual work performed - CubeJS package upgrade process
Mention that pushing will trigger selective build of cubejs container
- Replace duplicated git diff checks with loop-based change detection - Add per-service Docker cache scoping to prevent cache conflicts - Fix boolean input handling for workflow_dispatch - Use shell parameter expansion instead of sed for comma removal - Improve shell scripting best practices and maintainability
Add .buildinfo files to all service directories to test selective build workflow: - services/actions/ → quicklookup/synmetrix-actions - services/cubejs/ → quicklookup/synmetrix-cube (already changed) - services/client/ → quicklookup/synmetrix-client - services/hasura/ → quicklookup/synmetrix-hasura - scripts/containers/hasura-backend-plus/ → quicklookup/hasura-backend-plus - scripts/containers/stack/ → synmetrix/stack - scripts/containers/stepci/ → quicklookup/synmetrix-stepci This will trigger builds for all 7 custom containers when pushed.
- Remove synmetrix/stack from workflow (was causing build failures) - Fix build summary to handle matrix job partial failures correctly - Show⚠️ Mixed status when some services fail but others succeed - Add documentation about stack container removal - Reduce supported services from 7 to 6
Trigger builds for all 6 remaining services: - actions: quicklookup/synmetrix-actions - cubejs: quicklookup/synmetrix-cube (with v1.3.85 upgrade) - client: quicklookup/synmetrix-client - hasura-cli: quicklookup/synmetrix-hasura - hasura-backend-plus: quicklookup/hasura-backend-plus - stepci: quicklookup/synmetrix-stepci Stack container removed due to build failures. Build summary now handles partial failures correctly.
