FDE Repository Search Workflow
Automatically discovers and reports top FDE repositories across all major domains
⏰ Daily at 12:00 UTC 🖱️ Manual Dispatch
Capabilities
  • Search deployment, kubernetes, terraform, ansible, monitoring repositories
  • Filter by MIT license and sort by star count
  • Retrieve descriptions, star counts, and direct links
  • Generate a markdown summary report and commit it

Pipeline Stages
  • Build application artifacts and run test suites
  • Build Docker image and push to registry
  • Blue-Green deployment with traffic switching
  • Automated smoke tests and rollback on failure
