Our CI/CD journey into the cloud

Having discovered at Ligatus that our move from a on-premise setup to a continuous delivery, cloud-based environment, was held back by our “old-fashioned” CI solution (built around Jenkins), we switched gears. Starting from scratch, we designed and implemented a new CI system. With the Google Cloud in mind, we opted for cutting-edge tools and technologies to achieve a fault-tolerant, scalable, maintainable and fun-to-use experience.
The talk is about what we left behind, where we currently are and what is still ahead of us.

Continuous Delivery is an important principle in modern software engineering which guarantees that software under development is delivered to its end users in short cycles, as quickly as possible and in a reliable manner.

The talk provides answers to the following questions:

- What is actually Continuous Delivery and why is it so important?

- Which software technologies and tools can be used to achieve the principle?

- What practical problems need to be solved and which solutions exist?
