Automated deployment with Maven and friends - going the whole nine yards
Add to calendar
Automating your build process with Continuous Integration is certainly a great idea, but why stop there? Why not go the whole nine yards and automate the deployment process as well? Staging and production deployments are typically more complicated and more involved than a simple development deployment, but doing them by hand can be time-consuming, tricky and error-prone. Indeed, turning your staging and production deployments into a one-click affair has a lot going for it.
This talk will discuss a number of strategies for automating your deployment process, and show how you can integrate CI tools like Hudson and Bamboo with other tools such as the popular JIRA issue tracking software for an (almost) seamless deployment experience. In particular, it will show in practical terms how to automate the deployment using Bamboo, JIRA and Nexus in a real-world multi-module Maven web application. The talk will be hands-on and practical, with many live demonstrations of the principles discussed.
