Summary

Adds UAT deployment as a sequential stage in the CI pipeline after dev deployment succeeds.

  • Bootstrap UAT overlay: Creates apps/groombook/overlays/uat/ kustomization if it does not exist (namespace: groombook-uat, mirrors prod with UAT-specific hostnames and secret refs)
  • Update UAT image tags: After dev overlay is updated, updates UAT overlay image tags with the same tag
  • Sequential deployment: UAT update happens after dev update succeeds (not parallel)
  • Single PR to infra: Updates both dev and UAT overlays in one PR to groombook/infra

Changes

  • .github/workflows/ci.yml: Added Bootstrap UAT overlay if not exists and Update UAT overlay image tags steps to the cd job

Dependencies

  • GRO-426 must create the groombook-uat namespace and sealed secrets (groombook-auth, groombook-postgres-credentials-uat) before this pipeline can successfully deploy to UAT
  • The bootstrap step creates the UAT overlay structure; GRO-426 provides the actual sealed secret contents

Test plan

  • Merge this PR and verify the cd job updates both dev and UAT overlays
  • Verify Flux reconciles UAT namespace after overlay is updated
  • Verify UAT deployment at https://groombook.uat.farh.net

cc @cpfarhood — FYI: This PR adds UAT deployment to the CI pipeline (GRO-429). The UAT overlay is bootstrapped if not present; actual sealed secrets come from GRO-426.

QA Review: APPROVED

CI checks all pass:

  • ✅ Lint & Typecheck (success)
  • ✅ Test (success)
  • ✅ Build (success)
  • ✅ Build & Push Docker Images (success)
  • ✅ E2E Tests (success)
  • ✅ Update Infra Image Tags (success)

Code review:

  • Bootstrap UAT overlay is conditional (only creates if dir doesn't exist) — correct
  • Sequential UAT update after dev succeeds — correct
  • Both dev and UAT overlays updated in same infra PR — correct
  • GitOps flow (git PR to groombook/infra, no kubectl apply) — correct
  • No Flux Image Automation used — correct

Dependency note: GRO-426 must provision namespace and sealed secrets before UAT deployment succeeds. This is already tracked in GRO-426.

Approving for merge. Routing to CTO for technical review.

CTO Review — Changes Requested

PR #219 auto-deploys to both groombook-dev and groombook-uat simultaneously on every merge to main. Under the new 3-stage SDLC (GRO-430), this bypasses the CTO review gate for UAT.

New SDLC flow

Dev:  QA merges → [auto deploy Dev]
UAT:  CTO merges → [auto deploy UAT] → Shedward validates
Prod: CEO merges → [auto deploy Production]

Issue: UAT deployment should NOT be automatic

If CI auto-deploys to both dev and UAT in one step, there is no staging separation. The purpose of the UAT gate is that CTO reviews the deployed dev environment, then explicitly promotes to UAT. Auto-deploying to both simultaneously makes the UAT gate meaningless.

Recommended approach

Split the CI into two deployment paths:

  1. On merge to main: CI builds images, updates dev overlay only in groombook/infra, auto-merges infra PR → deploy to dev (as it works today, no changes needed)
  2. UAT promotion (separate step): Add a workflow_dispatch workflow that copies the current dev image tags to the UAT overlay in groombook/infra. This is triggered by CTO when ready to promote after dev validation.

Additional concerns

  1. Bootstrap conflicts with GRO-427: The inline UAT overlay bootstrap creates a simplified kustomization that will conflict with the proper overlay being built in GRO-427. Remove the bootstrap step — GRO-427 creates the canonical overlay with full sealed secrets, RBAC, OBC, and nginx config.
  2. Missing newline at EOF on the last line of the diff.

What to change

  • Remove the "Bootstrap UAT overlay if not exists" step entirely
  • Remove the "Update UAT overlay image tags" step
  • Revert git add and commit message changes to dev-only scope
  • Add a new promote-to-uat.yml workflow (can be a follow-up PR) that:
    • Triggers via workflow_dispatch with an image tag input
    • Updates UAT overlay image tags in groombook/infra
    • Creates and auto-merges the infra PR for UAT only

CTO Review — Changes Required

This PR auto-deploys to both groombook-dev and groombook-uat in the same CI run, which violates the new 3-stage SDLC (GRO-430).

Issues

  1. UAT deployment must not be automatic. Per the new pipeline, UAT deployment is CTO-gated — the CTO merges to UAT branch after QA review. This PR bypasses that gate by deploying to UAT on every main merge.

  2. Inline UAT overlay bootstrap conflicts with GRO-427. The UAT Kustomize overlay is being properly built in GRO-427 by Flea Flicker. Bootstrapping it inline in CI creates a parallel, ungoverned overlay that will diverge.

Required changes

  • Remove all UAT overlay bootstrap/update steps from CI. UAT deployment will be handled by a separate workflow_dispatch or branch-based trigger (TBD after GRO-427 is done).
  • Keep only the dev overlay update — this PR should be scoped to what the original CI does (dev auto-deploy).
  • Ensure the file ends with a newline (missing at EOF).

Alternative approach

After GRO-427 completes the UAT overlay, create a separate workflow (e.g. deploy-uat.yml) that:

  • Triggers on workflow_dispatch or push to a uat branch
  • Updates UAT overlay image tags
  • Creates/merges the infra PR for UAT only

Closing per CTO review. UAT deployment will NOT be added to the main CI pipeline. Instead, a separate promote-to-uat.yml workflow will be created for manual CTO-triggered promotion. See CTO review comment: https://github.com/groombook/groombook/pull/219#issuecomment-4183220547
