Integration Workflows

Integration workflows handle connections between the Blueberry IDP and external systems, enabling seamless operation across multiple platforms and services.

Categories

GitOps

ArgoCD-based GitOps workflows for continuous deployment.

  • ArgoCD Application Management - Create and manage ArgoCD apps
  • Git Repository Sync - Configure repo connections
  • Sync Policies - Automated vs manual sync strategies

CI/CD

Continuous integration and delivery pipeline workflows.

  • GitHub Actions Integration - Automated builds and tests
  • GitLab CI Integration - Pipeline configuration
  • Image Building - Container image workflows
  • Artifact Publishing - Push to registries
  • Environment Triggers - Auto-deploy on PR

Webhooks

Event-driven workflows triggered by external systems.

  • GitHub Webhooks - PR and push events
  • GitLab Webhooks - Merge request triggers
  • Custom Webhooks - Third-party integrations
  • Webhook Security - Signature validation

External Services

Integration with cloud services and third-party systems.

  • GCP Services - Cloud platform integration
  • Firebase Services - Auth and Firestore
  • Container Registries - GCR and Artifact Registry
  • Monitoring Services - GCP Metrics
  • Communication Platforms - Slack

Integration Patterns

Event-Driven Architecture

  • Webhook-based triggers
  • Asynchronous processing
  • Event queuing and retry
  • Dead letter handling

API Integration

  • RESTful API design
  • Authentication strategies
  • Rate limiting
  • Error handling

Data Synchronization

  • Real-time sync via webhooks
  • Batch sync for large datasets
  • Conflict resolution
  • Data consistency

Integration Technologies

GitOps Tools

  • ArgoCD - Kubernetes GitOps
  • Flux - Alternative GitOps
  • Kustomize - Configuration management
  • Helm - Package management

CI/CD Platforms

  • GitHub Actions - GitHub native CI/CD
  • GitLab CI - GitLab pipelines
  • Cloud Build - GCP native builds
  • Tekton - Kubernetes native CI/CD

Messaging & Events

  • Cloud Pub/Sub - Message queuing
  • Webhooks - HTTP callbacks
  • gRPC - High-performance RPC
  • GraphQL - Flexible queries

Common Integration Scenarios

Pull Request Workflow

  1. Developer creates PR
  2. Webhook triggers environment creation
  3. CI runs tests in new environment
  4. Status updates posted to PR
  5. Environment cleaned up on merge

Image Update Workflow

  1. New image pushed to registry
  2. ArgoCD Image Updater detects change
  3. Git commit with new image tag
  4. ArgoCD syncs updated manifest
  5. Rolling deployment executed

Multi-Cluster Deployment

  1. Code merged to main branch
  2. CI builds and tags image
  3. Dev cluster auto-deploys
  4. Manual approval for staging
  5. Progressive rollout to production

Best Practices

Reliability

  • Implement retry logic
  • Use circuit breakers
  • Queue events for processing
  • Monitor integration health

Security

  • Validate webhook signatures
  • Use service accounts
  • Rotate credentials regularly
  • Audit integration access

Performance

  • Batch API calls
  • Cache external data
  • Use async processing
  • Implement rate limiting
