How to Use Gitlab CI/CD to Create a Flawless Continuous Delivery Pipeline

Continuous delivery requires a lot of automation and configuration to ensure that changes are deployed quickly and reliably. Gitlab CI/CD is a popular tool for automating the process of building, testing, and deploying applications. In this blog post, we’ll look at how to use Gitlab CI/CD to create a continuous delivery pipeline.

What is Gitlab CI/CD?

Gitlab CI/CD is a continuous integration and continuous delivery platform that helps teams automate the process of building, testing, and deploying applications. It integrates with popular version control systems like Git and provides a simple, powerful interface for configuring and managing pipelines.

Creating a Pipeline in Gitlab CI/CD

Creating a pipeline in Gitlab CI/CD is easy. First, create a .gitlab-ci.yml file in your project’s root directory. This file contains the configuration for the pipeline. Here’s an example of a .gitlab-ci.yml file:

stages:
  - build
  - deploy

build:
  stage: build
  script:
    - npm install
    - npm run build

deploy:
  stage: deploy
  script:
    - npm run deploy

This example pipeline has two stages: build and deploy. The build stage runs the npm install and npm run build commands to build the application. The deploy stage runs the npm run deploy command to deploy the application.

Triggers and Schedules

Gitlab CI/CD also allows you to trigger pipelines based on certain events or schedules. For example, you could trigger a pipeline when a new commit is pushed to the repository, or you could schedule a pipeline to run at a certain time.

Conclusion

Gitlab CI/CD is a powerful tool for automating the continuous delivery process. It integrates with popular version control systems like Git and provides a simple, powerful interface for configuring and managing pipelines. With Gitlab CI/CD, you can quickly and reliably deploy changes to your applications.
