CircleCI
CircleCI is a popular continuous integration and continuous deployment platform that is commonly used in the Elixir community. It provides automated build, test, and deploy workflows to help streamline the software development process.
Features[edit]
CircleCI offers several key features for Elixir developers:
- Builds and Pipelines: CircleCI allows developers to set up automated builds and workflows for their Elixir projects. This includes the ability to define multiple pipelines and parallelize builds for faster feedback.
- Testing and Reporting: CircleCI supports running various types of tests for Elixir applications, including unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests. It provides detailed test reports and integrates with popular testing frameworks.
- Artifacts and Caching: Developers can easily save and retrieve build artifacts, such as compiled Elixir code, dependencies, and other files. CircleCI also supports caching of dependencies to speed up subsequent builds.
- Deployment and Orchestration: CircleCI offers seamless integration with popular deployment tools and platforms, allowing for automated deployment of Elixir applications to various environments.
- Workflow Customization: CircleCI provides flexible configuration options, allowing developers to define custom steps, dependencies, and notifications within their CI/CD workflows.
Getting Started[edit]
To start using CircleCI for Elixir projects, follow these steps:
- Sign up for a CircleCI account.
- Connect your Elixir project to CircleCI by adding a configuration file (typically named `.circleci/config.yml`) to the root of your project repository.
- Configure your build and test steps within the configuration file. CircleCI provides extensive documentation on how to set up Elixir-specific workflows.
- Push your changes to the repository, and CircleCI will automatically detect and run the defined workflows for each commit.
