TRANSCRIPT
Docker & GitLabDocker & GitLab as a Continuous Integration platform
GPad
Born to be a developer with an interest in “system admin”
I develop using many languages like C++, C#, js and ruby. I have recently fallen in love with functional programming, especially with elixir, erlang, clojure and haskell.
CTO & founder of coders51
We develop web and mobile solutions for the entire galaxy
We don’t develop web sites
At least not simple ones ...
Every time there is something new and interesting, we want to be there!!

Continuous Integration https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration:
Continuous integration (CI) is the practice, in software engineering, of merging all developer working copies to a shared mainline several times a day. It was first named and proposed by Grady Booch in his 1991 method, although Booch did not advocate integrating several times a day. It was adopted as part of extreme programming (XP), which did advocate integrating more than once per day, perhaps as many as tens of times per day.
Continuous Integration http://www.martinfowler.com/articles/continuousIntegration.html:
Continuous Integration is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently, usually each person integrates at least daily - leading to multiple integrations per day. Each integration is verified by an automated build (including test) to detect integration errors as quickly as possible. Many teams find that ….
Install Install InstallEach software should be installed on a CI computer
Each software with its own dependencies
Each software has different dependencies
Each software has different dependencies with different versions
This is a mess ...
How we used to do it ...
It works on my computer ...One test fails on the CI computer, but not on the developer’s computer
The CI environment is different from the production environment
The CI environment is different from the development environment
Who cleans up this mess ?!?After running the tests we have some dirty data
Dirty data in the database
Dirty data in the file system
Some dirty states on the external services

Why Docker?!?If we use Docker:
- We can create an isolated environment
- It’s not necessary to clean data after the tests
- It’s “simple” to put together all the necessary external services
- It’s easy to replicate on different computers
Install becomes DeclareIt’s not necessary to install all software on the CI computer
We can “declare” external dependencies
In .gitlab-ci.yml we can declare everything regarding the software under test:
- which images we require
- which services we depend on
- which scripts we want to execute
Install becomes Declare
Install becomes Declare
Install becomes Declare
Install becomes Declare

Auto-cleaning system ...The images are stored in cache on the CI server
At every restart the state of the container is known
It’s simple to avoid a corrupted situation
If the test fails we don’t have any “garbage data” left over

Pros & ConsPROS
No need to install all software on the CI computer
The environment is always clean at every restart
The CI environment can be replicated on every computer
CONS
It’s slow when there are a lot of dependencies to download
We need to manage new technologies (Docker)
Evolution ?!?Start to use Docker on development machine with Compose
Evolution ?!?Start to use Docker in production ...
Thank you!!!!
