Jenkins CI/CD

About this example

Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) is a cornerstone of modern DevOps practices, enhancing software delivery speed and reliability. This example provides a clear Jenkins pipeline workflow:

• Source Code Management (SCM): Tracks the start from an SCM commit to checking out the repository and preparing for the build.
• Build Process: Outlines the steps for building and launching services, including containerization with Docker.
• Testing Phases: Details various parallel testing stages such as unit tests, integration tests, smoke tests, and end-to-end tests.
• Deployment and Reporting: Shows the deployment process followed by the generation of a build report, signifying the end of the workflow.

When to use

• Automated Testing: When setting up an automated testing suite that runs in parallel and provides comprehensive coverage.
• Microservices Deployment: When managing the deployment of multiple interdependent services and modules in a microservices architecture.
• Build and Release Reporting: When you need to streamline the build and release process with automated reporting for each deployment.
