Sriram Alagappa's blog: Deployment

Sunday, December 27, 2015

last four days focussed on a end to end continuous integrated build and deploy solution

the flow will be

developer -> check in to github -> triggers build -> post build trigger test cases -> if test case successful deploys to ec2.

Advantage of hosted solution

consistent build using docker
Easy to add multiple builds like ios , android ,php, nodejs, .NET
Easy to deploy to multiple providers like codedeploy, s3, opsworks, npm .. etc (https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/)
Speedy builds
Speedy integration and unit test
Build on multiple platform

https://www.distelli.com/ : good solution for build and deploy, very young startup

https://www.distelli.com/docs/tutorials/nodejs-build-test-and-deploy

- after trying all the software for our needs distelli is the clear winer

- it has a nice yaml file to describe build & deployment dependency
- I can easily deploy to my ec2 instance

end to end project : https://github.com/sriram-alagappa/travistryout

https://travis-ci.org/; good for open source project and build, not good solution for deployment, big dady of all

https://codeship.com/ : average solution for deploy

https://circleci.com/ : average solution for deploy

Aws codedeploy : too hard will take time to mature

Aws ECS : too hard will take time to mature

Heroku : don't want to go with hosted solution now
