Part 3: Crafting the CI Pipeline

In the third part of our journey through the complicated machinery of Continuous Integration (CI), our story unfolds on the CI factory floor, where Jenkins pipeline code becomes our tools of the trade. We will begin our study with the Jenkins pipeline syntax and structure, preparing us to create the blueprints of complicated automation processes with engineering accuracy. Our production line then welcomes a game-changing collaborator – ChatGPT’s artificial intelligence. This collaboration is analogous to adding cutting-edge robotics to traditional manufacturing, transforming the possibilities of our assembly line.

With the theoretical foundation in place, we will prepare for the real work – laying the framework for our first CI pipeline. We will meticulously design each stage, ensuring that each component fits flawlessly into the next. Our quality control and material management stations, SonarQube and Artifactory, respectively...
