Educonnect: A Secure Software Delivery Pipeline

What does it really take to build a secure, production-grade DevSecOps pipeline? In this video, I break down how I designed and implemented EduConnect — a cloud-native system that enforces security, quality, and reliability at every stage of the software lifecycle. From code commit to deployment, every step is validated, monitored, and hardened. How a CI/CD pipeline works using GitHub Actions Implementing SAST with CodeQL and SonarQube Cloud Securing dependencies & containers using Trivy (SCA) Running DAST scans with OWASP ZAP Container hardening & Kubernetes security practices GitOps-based deployment with Argo CD Real-time observability using Grafana and Prometheus 🧠 Key Highlights: End-to-end DevSecOps pipeline (SAST + SCA + DAST) Zero critical vulnerabilities before deployment Automated security gates in CI/CD Production-style monitoring, alerting, and system health tracking 🔗 Project & Deep Dives: GitHub: https://github.com/Dhruvsahu1/Educonnect-D Blogs: https://hardik0811arora.hashnode.dev/educonnect-a-deep-dive-into-cloud-native-security-k3s-orchestration https://hardik-arora.hashnode.dev/from-localhost-to-production-my-journey-debugging-mongodb-and-nodejs-on-k3s 💡 Why this matters Modern systems don’t fail because of code alone — they fail because of lack of visibility, security, and control. This project shows how to build systems that are: Secure by design Observable in real-time Reliable under pressure 📈 Hashtags #cloudnative#googlecloud#gke#nginx #DevSecOps #CloudComputing #Kubernetes #CyberSecurity #GitHubActions #Grafana#k3s #Prometheus #ArgoCD #Docker #OpenSource #SRE#TechProjects #Coding #CloudSecurity #OWASP #Trivy #CodeQL #SonarQube #GitOps #LearnInPublic #BuildInPublic
