TPDP Episode #11: Continuous Integration And Deployment For The Polyglot Developer

Continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) are terms that I hear thrown around quite frequently. I’ve been a software developer for a long time, but it is only recently that I’ve welcomed these terms into my life. CI and CD is the automated process of running various tasks such as unit testing or building a version controlled project. In this episode of The Polyglot Developer Podcast, I have guest speaker Ivan Nemytchenko, from GitLab, helping me explain what continuous integration is all about and why GitLab has gone ahead and made a completely free set of tools around it.

This episode can be heard below, but it has also been published to all of the major podcasting networks, including, but not limited to, iTunes and Pocket Casts.

If you’re interested in being a guest on a future episode, reach out to me on Twitter and we can determine if you’re a fit.

Ivan wrote the following two articles:

• GitLab CI: Run jobs sequentially, in parallel or build a custom pipeline
• Deployment & Environments

Both of the above articles should in familiarizing you with not just GitLab CI, but CI and CD in general.
