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.

Creating the Home page

On to the actual code. The first thing we will need are some HTML pages. I am trying to keep things as simple as possible so we will not use any HTML rendering engines. As a result, we will have to copy/paste some HTML into every page we have (for now). In your project folder, create three new folders called css, scripts, and views. Also, create a file called index.html and put the following code in it:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <head>
      <meta charset="UTF-8">
      <title>CI Web Shop</title>
