Session
This interactive workshop is designed to equip you with the skills to set up and automate a GitLab CI pipeline from scratch. Suitable for both beginners and those with some experience, this session will focus on implementing continuous deployment for applications combining backend technologies (Java or Python) and frontend frameworks (React or Angular with TypeScript). Key topics include branch management, job dependencies, artifact handling, parallel execution, and environment variables. You will also learn to enforce best practices in software development such as static code analysis, secret scanning, and automated version control. By the end of the workshop, you will have a functional, fully automated CI/CD pipeline in your repository, with a clear understanding of how to extend and optimize it.
