How To Dev

Introduction Gitlab is a comprehensive platform designed for software development and version control using git. It provides a user-friendly web interface that enhances the speed of working with git, making it easier to manage Git repositories. Gitlab  offers a range of features including: Free public and private repositories: You can host your code securely and privately or share it with the world. Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) : Automate the testing and deployment of your code. Free private docker image storage on Container Registry In this article, I'll guide you on how to push a Docker image to the Gitlab Container Registry and set up CI to automatically build and push Docker images when you push code to a Gitlab repository. Pushing a Docker Image to the Gitlab Container Registry First, you'll need a Gitlab account and a repository (either public or private will work). Use the NodeJS Typescript Server project I introduced earlier , or any proj

Introduction Continuous Integration (CI) : This is the process of building, testing, and performing necessary actions to ensure code quality before it gets merged into the main branch for deployment. Continuous Delivery (CD) : This usually happens after CI and includes steps to deploy the source code to various environments like staging and production . This guide will show you how to set up CI/CD on Github using Google Cloud Build . While Github provides shared runners, if you or your organization have many jobs that need executing during development, setting up your own runner is a better choice. Before proceeding, you should understand some basics about Google Cloud Run to build and deploy Docker images. You can refer to this article for more details: Build Docker image for NodeJS Typescript Server . Setting Up GitHub CI/CD First, create a Github repository. You can choose either a public or private repository. You can use a NodeJS TypeScript application, following my guide o
