Express Lane

Recap

• Code base uses Git, modular code, modular repositories
• Local Deployment Pipeline demo
• Talked about testing being a team effort. Tests = Confidence
• Demo for Service Registry, platform-domain-service and metadata layer

Highlights

• Camilio Santana from Tech Ops helped us provision 2 boxes that are being used as Build and Integrated Dev for Express Lane.
• CI + D pipeline to express lane Integrated Dev.
• NuGet feed exposed by the build system with strict versioning.

Low-Lights?

• Found out old code relies on machine.config files. Any new server provisioned needs this...BAD!!!
• Cant yet deploy to Dev Integration Environments that the SCM team has setup. Talks in process.
• Painful to deploy with 700 MB of non express lane dll... It's necessary as of now.

Tools used for the build pipeline ?

• Jetbrains Team City
• Powershell
• C# based build and test scripts
• NuGet

Tim Speaks

Your current solution for current problems will be a silly solution tomorrow but you will need to improve what exists and solve tomorrow's problems. -- Greg Haga

What next ?

• Improve workflow, cleanup
• Push towards building a simple app entirely from integration tests, so that we prep the services for full fledged app builder.
