🚀 Rapid GitHub Actions Tutorial for Spring Boot, Docker Hub & Snyk (Step-by-Step Walkthrough)
Ready to ship production-ready Java microservices with confidence—and keep them secure? In this video I walk you through building a complete CI/CD pipeline for a Spring Boot app:
Build & Test your code on every push with GitHub Actions
Containerize it with Docker and push images to Docker Hub automatically
Scan for vulnerabilities in both dependencies and containers using Snyk
Fail-safe deployments—merge only when your code, image, and OSS packages are clean
By the end you’ll have a hands-free pipeline that compiles, tests, containerizes, scans and publishes—no click-ops required!
