Implementing the Build Pipeline Using Deployment Tasks
In the previous chapter, we created a pipeline using YAML, and we learned the process of creating jobs and tasks in the YAML format and exporting and importing a build pipeline. This chapter will dive deep into creating a pipeline using standard tasks. By the end of this chapter, you will have learned how to create a build pipeline for web application development, including Node.js, .NET Core, Docker, and Microsoft SQL Server, both on-premises and in Azure, using beginner-friendly tasks that make it easy to understand the concept.
We will cover the following topics:
- Working with Node.js and Node Package Manager (NPM) tasks
- Working with .NET Core CLI tasks
- Working with Docker tasks
- Working with SQL Server deployment tasks
Let’s start by learning how to create a pipeline using Node.js and NPM tasks.
