CI/CD In 5 Minutes | Is It Worth The Hassle: Crash Course System Design #2

[@99aabbccddeeff]

Thanks for the video! Just short info for people who are not know much about CI/CD. CI/CD is not about tools at all, it's about approach/practice. Tools just help to reach the goal. CI is about continuous integration our changes into a single unit. It's the practice that allow us to integrate many changes made by many people into the single unit. For example in dev area, the unit can be some branch in the git repository. CD is about keeping the unit deployable to the prod environment. It means that our unit should have ready to prod state. It means that where we integrate should have a fully working state.

[@syedarmaghanhassan4652]

This is one of the best channels i knlw. Thanks for sharing. I have an apinion on this CI CD topic. Why would a functional or automation tester ever use CI CD, or any repository other than Jira, or Testcase management tools? This is required for code integration and automated deployment... for developers. A software tester has notving to do with it.. 😅 Testers dont use Guthub/Lab, or any pipeline. Testers use Jira X-Ray, HP Alm, Selenium, Postman, etc.

[@Jerry-uc1pn]

This video explaining CICD is better than 95% of videos out there.

[@TheirSavior]

I just went through the other videos. They're twice as long and never deliver. This video better in all aspects.

[@TheDerpistan]

Thank you! This is a shockingly well put together and succinct explanation with awesome graphics to reinforce the talk track without bloat. Fantastic work!

[@Malpekar-mo4wb]

Your videos are very good and your explanations too, straight to point.

[@sanguchito7381]

The thing with CI/CD is that it can lead to a hugh bureaucracy overhead. Each of the steps on the pipeline is more often than not, out of reach for a developer and locked away behind a plethora of access request tickets. If you, as a developer, have a issue in one of those steps, you're in for 1-2 weeks of waiting for devops/infra/whoever to sort things out. You are still responsible, but you will not have the tools to fix it. As opposed to other approaches where devops, who has the tools, is also responsible for making things work. Companies seem to think that CD/CI is fire-and-forget miracle solution when in reality, it requires a lot of supervision and revision all the time to insure that it not riddled with roadblocks.

[@SirRFI]

CI, or more specifically the pipeline on your Git platform, is useful though. As soon someone commits to their Merge Request, tests/builds/others checks are ran. This somewhat forces devs to use code style, linting and tools, and reviewer doesn't have to get their own copy and run these just to be sure. As for "no branches, merge everything into develop branch" or something... yeah, I am not buying it either.

[@Buffalo5]

What you explain is not an issue with CI/CD but a concrete (and incorrect) implementation that you probably encountered. A correct implementation would have all necessary build, test and deployment scripts in the same repository as the application and those scripts are constantly exercised (on each commit). If one commit breaks the pipeline (be it a change in code, a test or in the pipeline itself), whoever broked it should either fixit or reverse the commit within 10 minutes. On top of that, companies doing CI/CD would normally be following real agile practices and be structured with small autonomous teams, so in no way they'd have bureaucracy overhead.

[@sanguchito7381]

@@Buffalo5 Yes, that is true. BUT, and here's my beef with CD/CI, under previous "less refined" models, when something was problematic, the people that got screwed were in a position to complain (and be heard) or simply do something about it. That is devops when it was called devops. Nowadays it seems that eventually CD/CI ends up being a mess where if something problematic is going on that delays things, the people that gets screwed (developers) are NOT in a position to do something about it because the pipeline (and products and services acquired to be used in said pipeline) are not their decision or domain either. There's nothing wrong with CD/CI in principle, it's just that it spirals out of control and becomes bottleneck after bottleneck and "it looks alright" from the higherups perspective because "we are following a process". Also, in the past, when things were more manual and less automated, if you had 2 devops for 100 developers (exaggerating of course) you knew you'd have a bottle neck. Now that everything is automated, it appears that you CAN have 2 devops for 100 developers because "everything is automated with our CD/CI pipeline"... until something doesn't work and then you have two poor bastards trying to get things done as fast as possible.

[@Buffalo5]

@@sanguchito7381 yeah, of course. At the end, no matter what processes you follow, there are humans involved and that means that what will matter the most is the company culture. It seems that the struggles that you mention come from some misalignments that only people can resolve, not processes.

[@developersteve1658]

At my company, we've been (for better or worse) encouraged to adopt nearly the full CI/CD process as part of our scope. Part of building our tool is creating our pipelines, or if we're on the cloud, using terraform to define our architecture.

Can anyone explain, what will be the changes in cicd pipeline for building the front end and backend applications

[@87Avantgarde]

Thanks, this kind of helped. It seems like CI CD is something worth looking at when you are a mature dev, right? I am just starting with development, have static website online, and was wondering if I could start now with CI CD. The idea: Whenever I decide to upload the newest changes to my website (which I currently am doing with scp via terminal), I'd like that to happen from...VS Code? Github? At least a lot more automatic than opening terminal and typing that long command.

[@fronix5060]

My thought is: Automate as much as possible before production. That includes, building, testing and deploying to test/acceptance etc. That's where the fast stuff happens, the quicker you can get something tested and verified the quicker you can move on with your life. Production deployments i take case by case, I always assume it's needs to be manual but with automation until you can "press the button" and go from there.

[@rajr5936]

Ok, Does it mean not lot of companies are doing automated deployment when it comes to production deployments?

[@fronix5060]

@@rajr5936 all depends on the size. If it's a large scale distributed system, it's probably fully automated with clusters and everything. But i've worked on a few highly sensitive systems and it was usually 80% manual and 20% automated. We never got to fully automate it...

[@gillall4828]

I dont like CI online, send things to server, to test, is always slow, I run everything on my machine and after success send to git, the code must be ready to be deployed when uploaded. So deploy to dev/test environment and after, if everything is ok, to prod. Im searching a good set of tools to do the monitoring process.
