In this chapter, we came to the core of CI, automation. Using Gulp, we automated our build, linting, and testing. That is all very nice, but for now, it only works locally. You can still forget to run Gulp, or ignore it, and commit a broken build. In the next chapter, we are going to take a closer look at Jenkins. Jenkins, like Gulp, is all about automation. While Gulp and Jenkins are nothing alike, besides the fact that they both assist in automation, the most important difference is that Jenkins runs on a server and will check your commit even if you did not.

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.
