Continuous Delivery with GitHub Actions - Brian Douglas

Testing

Learn how to adopt continuous delivery using GitHub Actions, automate workflows, and reduce errors and downtime for a successful software deployment.

Key takeaways

At the core of continuous delivery, you need to automate and integrate all aspects of the software development lifecycle.
GitHub Actions provides a unified platform to automate and integrate workflows, making it easier to adopt continuous delivery.
Identify the parts of your workflow that are most painful or time-consuming, and automate those first.
Consider using a “canary deployment” strategy, where you deploy small portions of traffic to a new environment before rolling out to all users.
GitHub Actions provides built-in support for a variety of tasks, including building, testing, and deploying your application.
To get the most out of GitHub Actions, design your workflow around the needs of your team and the needs of your application.
Start by automating small, low-risk changes and gradually increase the complexity of the changes you’re automating.
One of the biggest benefits of continuous delivery is the ability to quickly and easily roll back changes if something goes wrong.
Use GitHub Actions to automate testing, deployment, and monitoring, which allows you to quickly roll back changes if something goes wrong.
Automation allows you to reduce the likelihood of human error, which can cause problems or downtime.
For a successful deployment, you need to have a good understanding of the production environment and the deployed application.
To make the most of GitHub Actions, you need to integrate it with your existing tools and workflows.
Consider using GitHub Actions to automate tasks such as creating and sending email alerts, sending notifications to chatrooms, and creating custom reports.
You can use GitHub Actions to automate various tasks such as build, test, package, and deploy your code.
