Cloud-Native Applications in Java

Applying CI/CD to automate

One of the central aspects of cloud-native application deployment relies on the ability to effectively automate and build a software delivery pipeline. This is primarily accomplished by using CI/CD tools that can take the source code from the source repositories, run tests, build a deployable artifact, and deploy them to the target environments. Most modern CI/CD tools, such as Jenkins, provide support for configuring build pipelines that can be used to build several artifacts based on a configuration file in the form of a script.

We will take the example of a Jenkins pipeline script to demonstrate how a simple build pipeline can be configured. In our example, we will simply build two artifacts, namely the eureka-server ...
