Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment

Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment Foundations

Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment are relatively new development practices that have gained a lot of popularity in the past few years. Continuous Integration is all about validating software as soon as it's checked in to source control, more or less guaranteeing that software works and continues to work after new code has been written. Continuous Delivery succeeds Continuous Integration and makes software just a click away from deployment. Continuous Deployment then succeeds Continuous Delivery and automates the entire process of deploying software to your customers (or your own servers).

If Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment could be summarized with one word, it would be Automation. All three practices are about automating the process of testing and deploying, minimizing (or completely eliminating) the need for human intervention, minimizing the risk of errors, and making building and deploying software easier up to the point where every developer in the team can do it (so you can still release your software when that one developer is on vacation or crashes into a tree). Automation, automation, automation, automation... Steve Ballmer, would say, while stomping his feet on the ground and sweating like a pig.

The problem with Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment is that it's not at all easy to set up and takes a lot of time, especially when you've never done it before or want to integrate an existing project. However, when done right, it will pay itself back by reducing bugs, making it easier to fix the bugs you find and producing better quality software (which should lead to more satisfied customers).

The terms Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Deployment are often used incorrectly or interchangeably (and then I've also seen the term Continuous Release). People say Continuous Integration when they mean Continuous Deployment, or they say Continuous Deployment when they mean Delivery, and so on. To make matters more complex, some people use the word DevOps when they mean any of the Continuous flavors. DevOps, however, is more than just Continuous Integration, Delivery, and/or Deployment. When talking to people about any of these subjects, don't make assumptions and make sure you're using the same definitions. DevOps is outside the scope of this book.

Key benefits

  • Incorporate popular development practices to prevent messy code
  • Automate your build, integration, release, and deployment processes with Jenkins, Git, and Gulp, and learn how continuous integration (CI) can save you time and money
  • Gain an end-to-end overview of Continuous Integration using different languages (JavaScript and C#) and tools (Gulp and Jenkins)

Description

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.

Who is this book for?

This book is for developers who want to understand and implement Continuous Integration and Delivery in their daily work. A basic knowledge of at least JavaScript and HTML/CSS is required. Knowing C# and SQL will come in handy. Most programmers who have programmed in a (compiled) C-like language will be able to follow along.

What you will learn

  • Get to know all the aspects of Continuous Integration, Deployment, and Delivery
  • Find out how Git can be used in a CI environment
  • Set up browser tests using Karma and Selenium and unit tests using Jasmine
  • Use Node.js, npm, and Gulp to automate tasks such as linting, testing, and minification
  • Explore different Jenkins jobs to integrate with Node.js and C# projects
  • Perform Continuous Delivery and Deployment using Jenkins
  • Test and deliver a web API

excellent book. this book assisted me greatly in my ci/cd journey. i appreciate the author's easygoing writing style and candidness in what areas he may or may not be skilled in. although i'm not using the tools outlined in this book (bitbucket pipelines vs jenkins, cypress.io vs selenium, etc) the concepts are still highly relevant and spot on. thx to the author for producing quality material.

Excellent read on what can be a complicated subject and daunting subject. I appreciated the step-by-step description of working with the various pieces of the puzzle (Ubuntu, Git, Jenkins, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, SonarQube, Node.js, Karma, Selenium, Gulp, ) that is one option in comprising a CI solution, and particularly how version control plays a critical role in CI. Sander demonstrates his broad cross-domain knowledge particularly in Chapter 9, discussing C# .NET Core. This book should provide the reader with a baseline of what CI is and how to do put together a well-oiled CI implementation, regardless of the specific technologies that can be used.
