Continuous Delivery with Drone

The project has already outranked Jenkins on GitHub and is currently under active development. The main features of the platform, that are available out-of-the-box include the following:
* Declarative pipeline;
* Each build step is completely isolated and is executed in a separate Docker container;
* Language-agnostic plugins to extend the platform functionality.

1. Continuous Delivery with Drone Vadim Homchik CTO, Alconost
2. 70+ languages localization continuous localization video production
3. NOT ABOUT SUCH DRONES
4. Why?
5. Requirements • Open source • Modern (containers, without legacy code) • Lightweight (clean) • Declarative pipeline (pipeline must be stored in git) • Easily extendable
6. Drone
7. Docker Go Drone
8. One server, many agents ...
9. Supported git hosting platforms
10. Plugins plugins.drone.io
12. Pipeline step as a container .drone.yml
13. YO DAWG, I HEARD YOU LIKE DOCKER SO I PUT DOCKER CONTAINER IN A DOCKER CONTAINER SO YOU CAN DOCKER WHILE YOU DOCKER
14. Workspace Workspace Clone Build Deploy
15. Pipeline pipeline: build: image: golang:1.9 commands: - go get - go build - go test 
 publish: image: plugins/docker repo: alconost/nitro-mailer
16. Pipeline step build: image: golang:1.9 environment: - CGO=0 - GOOS=linux - GOARCH=amd64 commands: - go build - go test when: event: [ push, tag, deployment ] branch: master platform: linux/amd64
17. Services services: database: image: mysql cache: image: redis selenium: image: selenium/standalone-chrome
18. Plugins pipeline: ... publish: image: plugins/docker repo: alconost/nitro-mailer tags: latest secrets: [ docker_login, docker_password ] notify: image: plugins/slack webhook: https://hooks.slack.com/services/... channel: nitro
19. I KNOW HOW TO WRITE PLUGINS FOR DRONE
20. Caching • SFTP • S3 • Volumes Only via plugins Workspace Restore cache Rebuild cache Do some stuff
21. Promoting deploy: image: maki/drone-gae project: alconost-nitro version: 1 secrets: [ google_credentials ] when: event: deployment environment: production $ drone deploy <repo> <build> <environment>
22. Drone • Workspace • Cloning • Pipeline • Services • Plugins • Secrets • Registries
23. Cons • Still in beta (v0.8.1) • Weak documentation • Plugins directory (uncompleted) • No dashboard • No multi agent builds • Global secrets, registries only in Enterprise version ($)
24. Pros • Open source • Easy to install / start using • Easy to extend (language-agnostic plugins!) • Declarative pipeline • Simple clean UI • Lightweight (very small server / agent footprints) • Best features which are not implemented! :)
26. Project structure • Monolith (Java, Spring Boot, GWT) - Google App Engine • Microservices (Golang, Node.js) - Google Container Engine (Kubernetes) • Google Cloud Services • Datastore • Cloud SQL • PubSub • Storage
27. Commit Build / Test Publish Staging Production Notify Simplified pipeline
28. Pipeline End Users
29. Summary • Very easy to start and build pipeline • Super easy to extend functionality using plugins • Mostly stable • Startups love Drone! • Not ready for large teams
