CI/CD Pipeline Overview

This Jenkins pipeline automates image builds using Google Buildpacks and manages deployments via GitOps to GKE.

Key Stages

• Checkout & Prepare Source: Cleans workspace and fetches the configured branch from GitLab.
• Build & Push Docker Image: Uses pack build with Node.js v20.10.0 and pushes to Google Artifact Registry.
• GitOps Helm Tag Update: Updates `values.yaml` in the Helm repo and commits changes automatically.
