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.

Who this book is for

The audience will typically be the developer. Developers tend to lose themselves in their code while missing the bigger picture. Continuous Integration, for many developers, is something that must be done, but is not truly understood by many. This book will get developers, but hopefully also team leads, into Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment, and show them the added value it brings.

Basic knowledge of at least JavaScript and HTML/CSS is required. Knowledge of C# and SQL comes in handy. Most programmers that have programmed in a (compiled) C-like language should be able to follow along.
