Practical DevOps

Overview of this book

DevOps is a practical field that focuses on delivering business value as efficiently as possible. DevOps encompasses all the flows from code through testing environments to production environments. It stresses the cooperation between different roles, and how they can work together more closely, as the roots of the word imply—Development and Operations. After a quick refresher to DevOps and continuous delivery, we quickly move on to looking at how DevOps affects architecture. You'll create a sample enterprise Java application that you’ll continue to work with through the remaining chapters. Following this, we explore various code storage and build server options. You will then learn how to perform code testing with a few tools and deploy your test successfully. Next, you will learn how to monitor code for any anomalies and make sure it’s running properly. Finally, you will discover how to handle logs and keep track of the issues that affect processes

The pull request model


There is another solution to the problem of creating workflows around code reviews: the pull request model, which has been made popular by GitHub.

In this model, pushing to repositories can be disallowed except for the repository owners. Other developers are allowed to fork the repository, though, and make changes in their fork. When they are done making changes, they can submit a pull request. The repository owners can then review the request and opt to pull the changes into the master repository.

This model has the advantage of being easy to understand, and many developers have experience in it from the many open source projects on GitHub.

Setting up a system capable of handling a pull request model locally will require something like GitHub or GitLab, which we will look at next.
