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.

Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "A thousand-line function with multiple nested if and while loops (and I've seen plenty) is pretty much untestable." A block of code is set as follows:

public static class MyMath
{
   public static int Add(int a, int b)
   {
      return a + b;
   }
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
[...]
</head>
<body ng-app="shopApp">
<%- include navbar.ejs %>
<div class="container" ng-controller="productController">
[...]
</div>
</body>
</html>

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Git will rewind your work until it finds the master, which is after the Added weapons commit."

Warnings or important notes appear like this.
Tips and tricks appear like this.
