Implementing continuous delivery

To deploy the Gin application to production, you need to spin up a dedicated EC2 instance or EKS cluster. You must ask for manual validation before deploying to production.

With CircleCI, you can use the pause_workflow job to interact with the user and ask for approval before resuming the pipeline. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Add the pause_workflow job before the deploy job and define a release job, as follows:

   workflows:
    ci_cd:
      jobs:
        - test
        - build:
            requires:
              - test
        - deploy:
            requires:
              - test
              - build
        ...
