Summary
In this chapter, you learned about creating a value delivery stream using CI/CD pipelines. We covered the importance of automated unit testing to enable the delivery of quality code at speed in an enterprise context. You configured a CI pipeline using CircleCI. You learned about trunk-based development using GitHub flow and enforcing quality gates. You deployed a web application to Vercel and leveraged ng deploy for Firebase.
Next, we covered DevOps and IaC techniques using Docker and npm scripts. You containerized your web app, learned about working with containers in the cloud, and learned how to implement gated CI workflows. Also, you became familiar with orbs, workflows, and code coverage tools.
We leveraged CircleCI as a cloud-based CI service and highlighted that you can deploy the outcome of your builds to all major cloud hosting providers. You have seen how you can achieve CD. We covered an example deployment to Vercel via CircleCI demonstrating how you can...
