This guide will tell how to automate and streamline your Node.js delivery process so that you’ll be able to deliver better apps more often and with as little hassle as possible.
Objectives of this guide
Upon completing this guide you will be able to:
- Configure tests for your Node.js app
- Automate package deliveries upon every change to code
- Introduce Continuous Integration and Delivery to your workflow and use it to optimize your development process
Automating releases with CI/CD
The concept of Continuous Integration and Delivery assumes that your software is always tested and ready to deploy with every release. Buddy supports a wide variety of tools and frameworks that let you achieve that by constructing your own delivery workflow.
Employing Continuous Integration will allow you to:
- produce reliable software in short iterations
- receive feedback faster any time a change is made to the system
- ensure all tests are performed in one consistent environment across all developers
- facilitate manual QA processes by applying automatic continuous testing on the build server
- avoid last-minute panic in the office before deployments to production :)
- automate repeatable activities and focus on actual coding
