-# FullStack_DevSec
+FullStack DevSecOps Demo
+
+A production-grade fullstack pipeline showcasing modern DevSecOps practices — from secure CI/CD, to observability, to Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC).
+
+This project demonstrates how to take a simple Node.js/Express app and wrap it with a battle-tested DevSecOps workflow used in real companies.
+
+🌟 Highlights
+
+
+CI/CD Pipeline: GitHub Actions with linting, testing, dependency audits, Docker builds, Trivy scans, Gitleaks, CodeQL, Checkov & Terrascan.
+
+
+Secure Containerization: Hardened Dockerfiles with non-root users and HEALTHCHECK instructions.
+
+
+Runtime Security: Gitleaks (secret scanning), CodeQL (static analysis), npm audit (dependency vulnerabilities).
+
+
+Observability Stack:
+
+Prometheus for metrics collection
+
+Grafana dashboards (CPU %, memory, HTTP request rates, error rate, latency)
+
+Alertmanager + Slack for real-time alerts
+
+Sentry for application-level error monitoring and release tracking
+
+
+Environments:
+
+Staging: auto-deploy on develop
+
+Production: auto-deploy on main
+
+
+IaC Versioning: Full render.yaml and Helm manifests for portability to Kubernetes (k3s, GKE, EKS).
+

+
+Starter rules:
+
+CPU > 80% for 2 minutes
+
+Error rate > 5% over 5 minutes
+
+

+
+Captures unhandled exceptions.
+
+Tied to GitHub Actions release versions.
+
+Shows “Deployed to Staging/Prod” in release timeline.

+🐳 Docker Hardening
+
+All service images include:
+
+HEALTHCHECK instructions
+
+Non-root user execution
+
+Minimal base images (node:18-alpine, alpine:3.20, etc.)

+Why This Matters
+
+✅ Full DevSecOps pipeline: not just CI/CD, but integrated security, monitoring, and alerting.
+
+✅ Cloud-native ready: Helm charts → easy migration to Kubernetes.
+
+✅ Production realism: covers error tracking, observability, secrets management, IaC scanning.
+
+✅ Team collaboration: Slack notifications + Sentry releases → transparent deployments.
+
+✅ Hands-on expertise across Node.js, Docker, GitHub Actions, Sentry, Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, Checkov, Terrascan, Render, Helm.
+
+
+This repo is my portfolio centerpiece: a showcase of how I’d run secure, observable, cloud-ready software delivery in a real engineering org.
