2. install the node packages
3. build the TypeScript app
4. execute the build.go file
5. buildconfig-prod.json will be parsed
6. build Docker image
7. publish Docker image to a private docker registry
8. deploy Docker image to Docker Swarm, with mapped ports and volumes
9. verify the application is running
