IBM Bob — Full SDLC Demo Flow
From Prompt → Production → Day-2 Ops
Bob builds the app, tests it, secures it, builds the CI/CD pipeline, deploys to any platform, and assists with Day-2 SRE operations.
Credit Card Payment Processing App (demo: OpenShift)
Stage 1
Bob Modernizes & Builds the App
- Analyze legacy codebase — flag deprecated APIs, identify migration blockers, recommend refactors
- Backend API and business logic
- Frontend with dashboard UI
- Dockerfile (multi-stage, distroless, non-root)
- Health endpoints, Prometheus metrics, cache endpoint
"Legacy codebase or greenfield — Bob modernizes the stack and builds the app end-to-end."
Stage 2
Bob Tests & Secures
- Generate full test suite covering happy paths, edge cases, failure scenarios
- Security scanning — secrets, contextual analysis, CVE scan
- CVE scan on pom.xml — prioritized by exploitability
- SAST scan (Semgrep) — hardcoded secrets, injection risks
- Auto-fixes critical CVEs and pushes fix
"Full test coverage and security scans — before the code leaves the laptop."
Stage 3
Bob Generates Infra as Code
- Generate Terraform code to provision OpenShift environment
- Generate Ansible playbooks to configure infrastructure
- Network policies, storage provisioning, RBAC setup
- Security group configurations and firewall rules
- Cluster health checks and validation scripts
"Infrastructure defined as code — reproducible, version-controlled, and ready to deploy."
Stage 4
Bob Deploys to
OpenShift
OpenShift
- Manual deploy to validate the cluster before automating with CI/CD
- Image push to container registry
- Kubernetes manifests for deployment and services
- Health checks and readiness probes configured
- Zero-downtime rollout capabilities
"Manual deploy validates the cluster is ready — then we automate everything with CI/CD."
Stage 5
Bob Builds the
CI/CD Pipeline
CI/CD Pipeline
- Generate a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline — auto-deploy to staging, manual approval for prod
- Pipeline: build → test → scan → deploy
- Multi-language & framework support
- Security scans as quality gates
"Describe the pipeline once — Bob generates it for GitHub Actions, drift-free automation."
Stage 6
Bob Assists with
Day-2 SRE Ops
Day-2 SRE Ops
- RefreshPOD — per service, graceful restarts
- Rolling restart — zero downtime, PDB-aware
- Cache refresh — hits /cache/clear on all pods
- Certificate renewal & compliance validation
- Vault secret maintenance for client onboarding
"Describe the operation — Bob drafts the runbook and executes with your approval."
