Continuous deployment is a powerful technique, allowing a web application and associated data to be automatically published when the software changes.
In this workshop, we’ll show you how to set up an existing application, that uses PostgreSQL® and Redis®* as backend services, for continuous delivery of itself and its data.
Using your own fork of the application’s GitHub repository, we’ll show you how to add Netlify integration, so that the app (and its data) can be deployed when a change is pushed to the repository.
You’ll get to demonstrate automated deployment of main, and also when a PR is created on a branch. This last is especially useful in continuous integration (CI) to allow reviewers of the PR to check the proposed change against actual data in a live scenario. It also allows writing integration tests against live data.
And the application? Well, that’s fun in itself - it’s a nice demonstration of the benefits of a Redis cache for a PostgreSQL application.
You will learn:
See the workshop forum page for more information about the prerequisites and how to set them up.
If you don’t have a Netlify account, we’ll show how to set that up in the workshop itself.
