Ingest CI/CD

Why this document?

This is a document for summarizing Ingest’s current continuous integration/deployment processes.

Continuous Integration

• On each pull request, the code is built and unit tests for that repository run in gitlab.
  • see the gitlab-ci.yml on each repo that links to the common template
• Every day, Ingest-specific integration tests are run through Gitlab for all environments except production.

Continuous Deployment

Changes are automaticall deployed in the following scenarios:

• to dev environment - Merging a pull request to dev branch
• to staging environment - merging to master branch

Deployment to the prod envoronment is done by triggering the “deploy to prod” job.
