CI/CD integration

If you want to deploy a third party project – you can use helm chart with hardcoded application version.But for own developed project this way is not really good. I am sure you will have hundreds of different versions for your application, dev builds, production builds and a lot of other builds (in best case – dedicated build for each issue from Jira)

How to use CI/CD API KEY

CI/CD integration is a simple webhook. You can call it from you CI/CD pipeline to send to unifie information about your new build.

Copy curl command example to you ci/cd pipeline.This code will work in gitlab pipeline.

This api call will add information about new build for project.

export SERVICE_NAME=MY_SERVICE_NAME
export DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME=059920143366.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/docker-static-images:$CI_PIPELINE_ID
curl --user project214:af2******8pu \
--data-urlencode "projectId=214" \
--data-urlencode "title=$CI_COMMIT_TITLE" \
--data-urlencode "message=$CI_COMMIT_MESSAGE" \
"http://test.unifie.cloud/versions/update?channel=Prod&name=$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH&build=$CI_PIPELINE_ID&image=$SERVICE_NAME&url=$DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME"

Execute it to send the first build.
