Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment

By: Sander Rossel

Overview of this book

The challenge faced by many teams while implementing Continuous Deployment is that it requires the use of many tools and processes that all work together. Learning and implementing all these tools (correctly) takes a lot of time and effort, leading people to wonder whether it's really worth it. This book sets up a project to show you the different steps, processes, and tools in Continuous Deployment and the actual problems they solve. We start by introducing Continuous Integration (CI), deployment, and delivery as well as providing an overview of the tools used in CI. You'll then create a web app and see how Git can be used in a CI environment. Moving on, you'll explore unit testing using Jasmine and browser testing using Karma and Selenium for your app. You'll also find out how to automate tasks using Gulp and Jenkins. Next, you'll get acquainted with database integration for different platforms, such as MongoDB and PostgreSQL. Finally, you'll set up different Jenkins jobs to integrate with Node.js and C# projects, and Jenkins pipelines to make branching easier. By the end of the book, you'll have implemented Continuous Delivery and deployment from scratch.

Summary

In the final chapter of the book, we went from committing some code to seeing it live on another environment without any further human intervention. We copied files using Jenkins and SSH, and we also looked at database deployment with Flyway.

This concludes the book. We saw various methods to guarantee a certain level of code quality, ranging from linting to unit tests. Other than that, we have used various tools, such as SonarQube, Karma, Gulp, and Jenkins. However, there is more to see. I have mentioned tools such as Puppet, Chef, and Docker, but we did not discuss them at length. CI is hot and the field is ever going forward, so keep yourself updated. With this book, you should have a solid theoretical knowledge and the necessary practical skills to put any new tool to good use.
