Docker & CI

A Dockerfile with a healthcheck, a docker-compose stack with MongoDB, and a GitHub Actions pipeline.

The DevOps options generate everything you need to containerize the app and run a CI pipeline.

Docker

Enabling Docker adds:

Dockerfile           # multi-stage build (compiles TS → dist/ for TypeScript)
docker-compose.yml   # app + MongoDB service
.dockerignore        # lean build context
  • The Dockerfile is multi-stage for TypeScript projects, producing a small runtime image from the compiled dist/.
  • A HEALTHCHECK is configured against GET /health.
  • docker-compose.yml brings up the app alongside a MongoDB container for local end-to-end runs.
docker compose up

GitHub Actions CI

Enabling CI adds a workflow at .github/workflows/ci.yml plus a Dependabot config. The pipeline runs the checks that matter:

  1. Lint — ESLint
  2. Test — Jest with coverage
  3. Build — npm run build / TypeScript compile
  4. Docs check — npm run docs -- --check, failing if the committed docs are stale

tip

The docs-check step is what keeps your API documentation trustworthy over time — a PR that changes a route but forgets to regenerate docs fails CI instead of silently drifting.
