This article shows how to set up AzureDevOps CI/CD pipelines to be set for a full stack application. Here I use a multilayered solution set up which show the tasks based on users. Below is the technology stack which is used.
- Frontend UI – Angular 5
- Middleware APIs- ASP.NET WebAPI
- RDBMS – SQL Server 2012
- Dependency Injection – Unity
- ORM – EntityFramework
- Framework – .NET Core
I have code hosted on github as public repo.
Our projects in the solution would look like below:-
First, create an AzureDevOps account by going to azure web portal. https://dev.azure.com
As for pricing, Azure DevOps is free for open source projects and small projects (up to five users).
I have created Tracker as a private project, which I will be using for my Azure CI/CD pipeline.
Once you create a project there will be an option on the left-hand side, which gives us a submenu to show files and its metadata.
After I click files, I would not see any files. Since I am using git version control and the source is hosted on GitHub. I will fire these two commands in the command prompt to push my latest changes.
git remote add origin https://github.com/varunmaggo/Tracker.gith
git push -u origin --all
Now the code is pushed and the next step is to create AzureDevOps pipeline, on the left-hand side, there is an option. We would need to create Build and Release pipelines separately.
Again goto build option, we would see an option, where we need to create a build agent with multiple configurations.
- Install node package manager,
- Install angular cli
- Build packages for angular,
- Nuget restore to install packages for WebApi’s solution.
- run unit tests,
- And finally, publish artefacts.
Once we are set with these build pipelines, we would need to proceed for Release Pipeline.
In order to make it simple, I would use the staging environment. In real-world scenarios, we can have dev, stage and prod separately.
In the image below, we select the build source type, which is our build pipeline, and we would like to
