Optimizing Spring Boot Application Security and Code Quality with a Certified Jenkins Pipeline

Abstract

Ensuring robust security and maintaining high code quality are critical for modern applications, especially when operating in dynamic cloud environments like Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The absence of a standardized and automated approach to assessing application vulnerabilities and code integrity poses significant risks, including security breaches, operational failures, and suboptimal performance. This paper explores the implementation of a Certified Jenkins pipeline tailored for Spring Boot applications in GCP. By automating the build, test, and deployment lifecycle while integrating advanced security checks, vulnerability assessments, and quality assurance measures, this solution mitigates risks, ensures compliance with code coverage benchmarks, and enhances operational efficiency.
