Immediate Priorities

2 Tasks
0
Share AWS Group Policies & Environment Files
Share gist files containing AWS group policies and .env configuration files for complete documentation.
Critical Documentation
1
Documentation & Deployment Validation
Ensure all documentation (README, workflows) aligns 100% with deployed architecture. Run full "from scratch" deployment in clean AWS profile to validate reproducibility.

Future Enhancements

4 Categories

1️⃣ Infrastructure & Security Enhancements

1.1
LocalStack Integration
Integrate LocalStack for local AWS infrastructure testing to reduce costs, improve security, and increase development speed. Add Terraform tests for stable deployment environment.
Cost Optimization Testing
1.2
Pull Request Enforcement & Pipeline Checks
Enforce PR workflow on master with comprehensive checks: code coverage, pair review requirements, vulnerability scanning (Snyk, SonarQube), single commit policy, and branch naming conventions (feature|devops|fix).
Security DevEx
1.3
Multi-Environment Testing
Test Staging and Prod environments with properly configured IAM users following least privilege principles.
IAM Environments
1.4
Production CI Separation
Move Production CI to dedicated GitHub repository, completely separated from Dev and Staging environments for enhanced security and isolation.
Isolation Best Practice
1.5
ECS Fargate Autoscaling
Implement autoscaling policies based on CPU and memory metrics for optimal resource utilization.
Performance
1.6
GitHub OIDC Integration
Replace long-lived AWS keys with GitHub OIDC for improved security. Requires AWS Organization setup.
Authentication
1.7
Advanced Protection Layer
Implement rate limiting, AWS WAF, and AWS Shield for comprehensive protection against attacks and abuse.
WAF DDoS
1.8
Automated Vulnerability Scanning
Deploy dependency bot, GitHub Actions, or AWS GuardDuty for continuous vulnerability monitoring of packages and dependencies.
Scanning
1.9
IAM Policy Review
Comprehensive review of all IAM policies to ensure strict least privilege access across all services and resources.
IAM Review

2️⃣ Observability & Testing

2.1
Health Monitoring & Alerting
Add synthetic health checks and CloudWatch alarms for ALB 5xx errors and target health. Integrate with SNS for real-time notifications.
Monitoring Alerting
2.2
Integration Testing Suite
Implement integration tests that verify ALB /health endpoint and root endpoint functionality post-deployment.
Integration
2.3
CI Pipeline Testing Gates
Integrate tests into CI pipeline with deployment gates that prevent promotion unless all tests pass successfully.
CI/CD Quality Gates

3️⃣ Developer Experience & Multi-Environment

3.1
Environment-Specific Workflows
Create dedicated GitHub workflows or matrix builds for each environment (Dev, Staging, Production) with appropriate configurations.
Multi-Env
3.2
Dashboard Integration
Integrate previous TurboVets SWE assessment dashboard (turbovets-dashboard) into the Docker container of this project.
Feature Integration

4️⃣ Feature Roadmap (Post-Assessment)

4.1
Architecture Diagram Maintenance
Enhance AWS architecture diagrams with automated updates to keep them synchronized with infrastructure code changes.
Documentation Automation
4.2
Advanced Cost Optimization
Implement advanced cost-optimization strategies including reserved capacity, instance right-sizing, and resource scheduling.
FinOps Cost
