# CI/CD Multi-Platform Matrix
## Matrix Strategy
Use `strategy.matrix` with `include` for specific OS/arch/language combinations. Always `fail-fast: false`.
**Platform targets**: Linux x86_64 + ARM64, macOS x86_64 + ARM64, Windows x86_64. ARM64 Linux uses `cross` crate.
## Language Version Matrices
| Language | Versions | Action |
|----------|----------|--------|
| Rust | MSRV, stable, nightly | `dtolnay/rust-toolchain` |
| Python | 3.8–3.12 | `actions/setup-python` |
| Node.js | 18, 20, 22 | `actions/setup-node` |
| Ruby | 3.0–3.3 | `ruby/setup-ruby` |
| Java | 11, 17, 21 | `actions/setup-java` (temurin) |
| Go | 1.20–1.22 | `actions/setup-go` |
## Caching
- Rust: `Swatinem/rust-cache` with `cache-targets: true`
- Node: `actions/setup-node` with `cache: 'npm'`
- Python: `actions/cache` on `~/.cache/pip`
- Docker: BuildKit GHA cache (`cache-from: type=gha`)
## Split Workflows by Domain
Separate `ci-rust.yaml`, `ci-python.yaml`, `ci-node.yaml`, etc. with path filters on relevant directories. Each runs lint → build → test → coverage.
## CI Pipeline Standards
- Workflows use `task` commands (never direct scripts): `task setup`, `task lint:check`, `task build:all`, `task test:all`
- Always set `BUILD_PROFILE=ci` in GitHub Actions
- Pre-commit hooks run in validate stage
- Stages: Validate → Build → Test → Deploy
## Anti-Patterns
- Cartesian product explosion (use `include` to select specific combos)
- No artifact caching
- Mixed domains in single workflow
- Hardcoded versions instead of matrix variables
- No cross-platform testing for FFI bindings
- No `fail-fast: false` (one failure hides others)
