CI servers: hosted, self-hosted or from scratch (!!!)?

This talk is about all the options you have in terms of CI servers...and yes, I wills how you how to code your own (crappy) CIaaS! You should not do that ever by the way, pay for hosted!

Transcript

1. hosted, self-hosted or … from scratch (!!!)? CI servers: @jipiboily jipiboily.com
2. WHOAMI Jean-Philippe Boily @jipiboily jipiboily.com j@jipi.ca Software Engineer @ Rainforest QA rainforestqa.com
3. Rainforest QA “We do QA as a service, making it simple and fast to test your webapp in multiple browsers. Backed by @ycombinator + @heavybit” rainforestqa.com
4. Hosted
5. Why hosted? Dead easy to setup and use It just works No maintenance Work on your product, not on CI!!!
6. Common features • Support multiple languages, frameworks, DB, etc. • Support continuous deployment to multiple hosts • GitHub Pull Request integration
7. Travis CI <3 Open Source They made the Open Source community better
8. Insanely fast, parallel building <3 Open Source too (new & limited) Build and deploy Docker containers Can SSH into build servers
9. Can SSH into build servers Free plan, even for private projects!
10. Parallelism (not automatic AFAIK) Free plan, even for private projects! Semaphore
11. Host the build agents yourself Never see your code
12. Ship.io: mobile Cloudbees: Jenkins, but hosted Bamboo: by Atlasssian, tight integration with JIRA Moar CI… Drone.io
13. There are MOAR hosted CI servers…
14. You should pay for a hosted CI, but if you don’t want… My 2 cents
15. Self-hosted
16. A lot of plugins By far, the most popular Jenkins Painful to have a nice setup IMHO Former Hudson, before Oracle screwed up
17. Drone Super easy to setup “All” you need is “built-in”: GitHub, notifications, deployment… Builds run in Docker containers by drone.io
18. Moar CI… Bamboo, self-hosted: by Atlasssian, tight integration with JIRA CruiseControl (.net, .rb) Strider CD, CI JOE (best name), and tons and tons more…
19. Not the best option in most cases IMHO, but if you have high security requirements or really unusual setup that doesn't work on hosted, this is for you. My 2 cents
20. WARNING don’t do this at home, I am a professional From scratch
23. Fun stuff… let’s do this!
24. Keep it simple CI is handling exist status and output, that’s it!
25. Let’s see some (bad) code!
26. Thanks! Questions? Jean-Philippe Boily @jipiboily jipiboily.com j@jipi.ca Software Engineer @ Rainforest QA rainforestqa.com Slides: http://bit.ly/ci-talk
