CI/CD Pipeline For Django Application using Jenkins and Digital Ocean
As software development becomes more complex and fast-paced, it is crucial to have an efficient and automated process for building, testing, and deploying code changes to production environments. Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines are essential tools for achieving this goal. In this article, we will walk through the process of setting up a CI/CD pipeline for a Django application using Jenkins and Digital Ocean, with Slack integration for notifications related to deployments.
Step 1: Introduction
What is a CI/CD Pipeline?
CI/CD Pipeline stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment. It is a set of practices that automate the entire software delivery process. The CI/CD Pipeline starts with Continuous Integration, which involves integrating code changes into a shared repository. This process is followed by Continuous Deployment, which involves automatically deploying the code changes to production servers.
