DevOps for JavaScript (Node.js) Developers

This book is a bridge between the world of JavaScript development and modern infrastructure. If you write in Node.js but feel uncertain when setting up CI/CD, containerization, or deployment, this guide is for you. The author consistently takes the reader from basic DevOps concepts to building production-ready infrastructure for Node.js applications.

What the book is about:

• DevOps fundamentals and its role in the lifecycle of Node.js projects
• Setting up continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) for JavaScript projects
• Containerization of Node.js applications using Docker: from Dockerfile to image optimization
• Container orchestration with Kubernetes: deployment, scaling, and management
• Monitoring and logging Node.js applications (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK)
• Automating deployment on cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud, Yandex Cloud)
• Managing configurations and secrets in Node.js projects
• Infrastructure testing and Infrastructure as Code practices

Who this book is for:

• JavaScript/Node.js developers who want to deploy and maintain their own applications
• Full-stack developers looking to expand their skills towards infrastructure
• DevOps engineers transitioning to the Node.js stack
• Tech leads and technical managers responsible for development and delivery processes

What you will learn:

The book is built on real-world examples and cases. You will learn how to write efficient Dockerfiles for Node.js, configure GitHub Actions and GitLab CI for automated testing and deployment, work with Kubernetes in conjunction with Node.js, and implement performance monitoring and alerts. Special attention is given to security practices: secure secret storage, working with environment variables, and container security.

Each chapter contains practical tasks and ready-made configurations that can be adapted for your own projects. By the end of the book, you will be able to independently build a complete pipeline from commit to production using modern DevOps tools and best practices in Node.js development.
