Lets production run r10.0's current code now, and leaves the full develop → r10.0 release for later. This carries only the deployment side of develop's pipeline, with no application code.

Changes

  • .github/workflows/bitween-api-cicd-gateway.yml: develop's version, with three parts left out until the develop release brings their code: the cli-develop, cli-release and sdk-release jobs (their workflows and the CLI and SDK code exist only on develop), and the SW.Bitween.Adapters NuGet package. r10.0's release job now:

    • publishes the bitween chart to ChartMuseum and GHCR, since the deploy pulls it from GHCR;
    • deploys to namespace bitween on the production cluster (S9PROD_KUBECONFIG_V2): app.bitween.io on s9-prod-edge's https-wildcard-bitween-io listener, with the PROD_* secrets and the S3 checksum setting;
    • deploys only while BITWEEN_PROD_DEPLOY is true, which it is now, so merging this deploys production.

    The old staging job that deployed r10.0 to playground is gone. Run by hand, it would have re-added an app-dev.bitween.io listener, and app-dev would answer 404.

  • charts/default/templates/deployment.yaml: develop's own lines that pass any other environmentVariables to the container. That's how AWS_*_CHECKSUM_* reaches the pods: r10.0 uses the same SimplyWorks.CloudFiles.S3 10.0.1 as develop, so it has the same upload problem. With default values the container gets exactly the same 21 variables as before, so existing client installs are unchanged.

  • docs/deployment.md: the CI rows, as on develop.

Not carried, because it's tied to develop's app: develop's chart turns probes on against /health/live and /health/ready (r10.0 serves only /health), requires a non-root container, and changes the container port. r10.0's probes stay off.

Verified

  • actionlint is clean, and helm lint passes on r10.0's chart.
  • r10.0's chart, rendered with the production values: the HTTPRoute's parentRef is public-gateway / s9-prod-edge / https-wildcard-bitween-io, there are 2 replicas, and the AWS_* and Bitween__BusProvidersEnabled variables each appear once.
  • At the later develop → r10.0 release, these two files conflict only where develop adds its CLI and SDK parts: the jobs at the end of the workflow, and the rows after the CI rows in the docs. Take develop's version of both files.

Right after the first deploy (operations, no code)

r10.0 seeds two credentials that are published in this repository; develop already fixes both:

  1. the administrator admin@Bitween.systems's default password: whoever signs in first chooses the new one;
  2. the SYSTEM partner's API key, which lets anyone post into content routing without signing in.

Both get changed immediately after the first deploy. The develop release later finds them already changed, so it needs no InitialAdminPassword.

Brings the deployment side of develop's pipeline to r10.0, and none of its
application code, so production can run r10.0 until develop is released:

- The workflow is develop's: the develop job runs only on develop, and the
  release job deploys to bitween on the production cluster (app.bitween.io on
  s9-prod-edge's https-wildcard-bitween-io listener) while BITWEEN_PROD_DEPLOY
  is true. It also publishes the chart to GHCR, which the deploy pulls from.
  Left out until the release: the CLI and SDK jobs and the
  SW.Bitween.Adapters package, whose code is only on develop. The old staging
  job's deploy to playground is gone with it.
- The chart passes any other environmentVariables to the container, using
  develop's own lines. That's how production's AWS_*_CHECKSUM_* settings reach
  the pod. With default values the container gets the same 21 variables as
  before.

📝 Summary

What changed

  • The workflow now separates releases/r10.0-develop and releases/r10.0 pipelines, with branch-specific concurrency.
  • The release pipeline publishes the bitween chart to ChartMuseum and GHCR. It can deploy to production namespace bitween through the configured Gateway API route when BITWEEN_PROD_DEPLOY is true.
  • The develop pipeline deploys to bitween-dev and does not publish NuGet packages.
  • The chart now emits additional environmentVariables as string-valued container variables, excluding the three RabbitMQ management variables that it emits separately.
  • Deployment documentation now describes the separate pipelines.

Risk: risk:medium. The workflow adds production deployment configuration and changes release publication behavior.

Security-sensitive areas: The workflow maps production cluster access and application secrets into deployment inputs. The PR description also flags seeded administrator and SYSTEM partner credentials for replacement after the first deploy. Replace those credentials promptly.

Test coverage impact: The workflow retains unit and integration test steps. The PR description reports clean actionlint and passing helm lint, plus chart-render checks; these results are not independently verified here. No test-run results were supplied.

Operational concerns: Production deployment is gated by BITWEEN_PROD_DEPLOY; the setting’s current value was not verified. Confirm the required production secrets, kubeconfig, gateway listener, and DNS before enabling deployment. The PR description reports that the deployment variable is currently true. No migration or rollback procedure was supplied.

Walkthrough

The gateway workflow now separates develop and production pipelines by release branch. Each pipeline publishes its configured image and chart, and deploys to its respective environment. The Helm chart also renders configured environment variables in the container.

Push triggers target releases/r10.0 and releases/r10.0-develop. Concurrency groups use the branch name. Each job is selected by its corresponding ref.
Develop publishing and deployment
charts/default/templates/deployment.yaml, .github/workflows/bitween-api-cicd-gateway.yml
The develop job publishes the bitween-develop chart and simplify9/bitween-develop image, runs tests without NuGet publishing, and deploys to bitween-dev. The chart emits configured environment variables as quoted strings, excluding the three RabbitMQ management variables handled separately.
Production publishing and gated deployment
.github/workflows/bitween-api-cicd-gateway.yml, docs/deployment.md
The release job publishes charts to ChartMuseum and GHCR, retains its tests and NuGet publishing, and deploys to production only when BITWEEN_PROD_DEPLOY is true. The documentation describes the develop and production triggers, artifacts, and deployments.

Merging this change starts a public production deployment of r10.0. By the author's own account, that release creates an admin account and a SYSTEM API key whose credentials are published in the repository. Until someone rotates them by hand, anyone who knows those values could sign in to production. Supply unique credentials before the first deploy, or keep the route closed until rotation. The deployment documentation also wrongly lists the Adapters package as published.

Do not expose production with published seed credentials.

When BITWEEN_PROD_DEPLOY is true, this job deploys the application at app.bitween.io. The PR states that the first deployment seeds an admin password and a SYSTEM partner API key already published in the repository. Rotating them after deployment leaves a window for anyone with those credentials to authenticate. Provision unique credentials before enabling the public route, or keep the route inaccessible until both credentials are changed. As per path instructions, “Treat GitHub Actions changes as supply-chain sensitive.”

Remove the Adapters package from the production pipeline row.

The workflow sets nuget-projects to SW.Bitween.Sdk/SW.Bitween.Sdk.csproj only. This row incorrectly tells clients that the pipeline also publishes SimplyWorks.Bitween.Adapters. Remove that claim until the package is included in the release.
