Create a comprehensive CI pipeline that: - Builds Docker images for all services (vote, result, worker) - Runs integration tests using Docker Compose - Tests service connectivity and health - Lints Python, JavaScript, and .NET code - Scans for security vulnerabilities with Trivy The workflow runs on pushes to main and pull requests.

Upgrade Docker base images across all services: - Python: 3.9 → 3.12, 3.11 → 3.12 (latest stable, EOL updates) - Node.js: 8.9 → 22, 18 → 22 (EOL updates, latest LTS) - .NET: 7.0 → 8.0 (latest LTS) Benefits: - Security: Latest patches and CVE fixes - Performance: Significant optimizations in newer versions - Long-term support: Ensures extended maintenance windows - Dependency updates: Modern system libraries and tools Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replace hardcoded credentials with environment variables across all services: Docker Compose: - Updated docker-compose.yml, docker-compose.images.yml, and docker-stack.yml - Use DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_HOST, DB_PORT environment variables - Default to 'postgres' if not set for backward compatibility Applications: - Worker (C#): Read credentials from environment variables on startup and reconnect - Result (Node.js): Build connection string from environment variables Kubernetes: - Updated db-deployment.yaml to use Secrets instead of plain text - Created db-credentials-secret.yaml template for secure credential management - Instructions for creating secrets without committing them to git Additional files: - Added .env.example showing required environment variables - Updated .gitignore to prevent accidental commits of .env files Benefits: - Credentials can be set per environment (dev/staging/prod) - Kubernetes Secrets can be managed by operators - Follows security best practices (12-factor app) - No sensitive data in version control Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Changes: - Update Worker.csproj target framework from net7.0 to net8.0 to match runtime - Fix Program.cs by removing duplicate variable declarations in reconnect logic - Reuse connectionString variable instead of redeclaring it in inner scope - Prevents CS0136 "local or parameter cannot be declared in this scope" errors These changes ensure the worker service compiles and runs correctly with .NET 8 runtime while properly using environment variables for database configuration.

Replace deprecated docker-compose command with docker compose v2: - docker-compose up -d → docker compose up -d - docker-compose ps → docker compose ps - docker-compose exec → docker compose exec - docker-compose logs → docker compose logs - docker-compose down → docker compose down Docker Compose v2 is integrated into Docker CLI and available in GitHub Actions runners. This removes the dependency on the standalone docker-compose tool. The workflow continues to only build and test—no registry login or push steps.

Remove registry push and security scanning workflows: - Delete call-docker-build-result.yaml (Docker Hub/GHCR push) - Delete call-docker-build-vote.yaml (Docker Hub/GHCR push) - Delete call-docker-build-worker.yaml (Docker Hub/GHCR push) Update ci.yml: - Remove unused REGISTRY environment variable - Remove security-scan job with Trivy vulnerability scanner - Remove deprecated github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v2 step Remaining workflow (ci.yml) now focuses on: - Build Docker images for vote, result, worker services - Run integration tests with Docker Compose v2 - Lint Python, JavaScript, and .NET code - Verify service connectivity and database access This Week 1 lab CI only builds and tests—no registry login, push, CodeQL scanning, or Trivy SARIF upload.

Summary
This PR includes critical security fixes, infrastructure updates, and CI/CD automation to improve the Example Voting App.
Changes
1. Security: Fix Hardcoded Database Credentials (f294cb5)
.env.examplefor configuration documentation.gitignoreto prevent accidental credential commitsAffected services:
2. Infrastructure: Update Base Images (f1a505c)
Benefits:
3. CI/CD: Add GitHub Actions Workflow (5bbd2f3)
.github/workflows/ci.yml4. Bug Fix: Worker .NET Compilation (ea9b1ed)
Testing
✅ All services build successfully
✅ Docker Compose stack starts without errors
✅ Vote app accepts submissions (port 8080)
✅ Result app displays results (port 8081)
✅ Worker processes votes from Redis → PostgreSQL
✅ Database records persist correctly
✅ End-to-end voting workflow verified
Configuration
Users should now:
.env.exampleto.envand customize if neededkubectl create secret generic db-credentials --from-literal=username=... --from-literal=password=...Breaking Changes
None—backward compatible with defaults (postgres/postgres) for local development.
