While building components, using a manual approach may seem like a good technique due to its implementation simplicity. In this chapter, we will automate this process. The reason for this is that there are multiple code bases that need to be built and deployed, which, if done manually, can result in unnecessary errors in the process.
Instead of a manual build, we turn our focus to a development tool to take care of this repetitive build and deploy process. In our project, we intend to use Cloud Build to manage the build workflow on Google Cloud. To use Cloud Build, it is worth understanding the actual process to be automated, since the configuration required will often be an approximation of the manual steps to be followed.
When working in this project, our developer workflow can be defined using the following steps:
- A developer commits their...
