FDE Deployment Patterns

Deployment lifecycle used across customer environments.

Reusable deployment patterns and validation tools for forward-deployed AI engagements.

---

Run in 60 Seconds

git clone https://github.com/cmangun/fde-deployment-patterns.git
cd fde-deployment-patterns
npm install && npm test

Expected output:

✓ validates correct deployment config
✓ rejects missing required fields
✓ rejects invalid environment values
10 tests passed

Validate a config:

npm run build
node dist/cli.js examples/deployment.sample.yaml
# → ✅ Deployment config valid

---

Customer Value

This pattern typically delivers:

• 70% fewer deployment failures (validation before deploy)
• 3x faster onboarding (reusable patterns vs. from-scratch)
• Consistent deployments across customer environments

---

Patterns Included

Pattern	Use Case
Secure Edge	Restricted networks, limited egress
Hybrid Bridge	Air-gapped → cloud data transfer
Observability First	Monitoring before features

Config Schema

name: my-deployment
environment: production  # production | staging | development
pattern: secure-edge
services:
  - name: api
    replicas: 3
    resources:
      cpu: "500m"
      memory: "512Mi"
governance:
  costCeiling: 1000
  dataResidency: us-east-1

---

CLI Usage

# Validate config
fde-validate deployment.yaml

# Validate with strict mode
fde-validate deployment.yaml --strict

# Output JSON report
fde-validate deployment.yaml --format json

---

Next Iterations

• Add Kubernetes manifest generation
• Add Terraform template generation
• Add cost estimation from config
• Add drift detection
• Add pattern recommendation engine
