Deploying web apps using Azure DevOps CI/CD Pipeline

We are excited to share with you, on deploying web apps using Azure DevOps CI/CD pipeline. In this newsletter, we will be discussing the benefits of using Azure DevOps, the CI/CD pipeline, and how to deploy your web app using this tool. 

As part of this process, we provide you with features such as version control, continuous integration, and continuous delivery, which are crucial for the successful deployment of web applications. The Deploying process Start from the Repository whether it’s GitHub, Azure Repo, Bitbucket or any other version control platform.    

The CI/CD pipeline is a crucial part of the web app deployment process as it automates the entire process, reducing the time and effort required to deploy a web app. In this process, we provide wide range of features that make it easier to build and deploy your web app. These features include: 

Open-Source Vulnerability check: During open-source vulnerability checking, we check for vulnerabilities & security issues with in the open-source component that are used in a software project. This involves analyzing the software dependencies, libraries, and framework that the project relies on, and checking if there are known vulnerabilities or weakness associated with them. We use automated tools to scan for vulnerabilities, review security advisories and check for relevant patches or updates that may need to be applied to the software. 

Automated testing: we provide automated testing features that allow you to test your code continuously, ensuring that your web app is always in top shape. 

Approvals: We settings up one or more approvals gates, where designated individuals or groups must manually review and approve the changes before the pipeline proceed. 

Continuous delivery: Continuous delivery ensures that your web app is deployed to the production environment automatically, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring that your app is always up to date. 

Penetration testing: Automated tools can be used to detect potential security issues, such as SQL injection or cross site scripting vulnerabilities, and provide feedback to developers in real-time. Additionally, it can help to ensure compliance with security standards and regulations, such as PCI-DDS or HIPPA, which require regular security testing and vulnerability assessments. 

Application Insights: We use Application insights for monitoring and tracking the performance and usage of application. We track Application Availability, Performance Metrics, User Engagement, Errors and Exceptions as well as custom telemetry.  It provides developers with real-time insights into application health and performance, allowing them to identify and diagnose issue quick and effectively. 

Additionally, we provide reporting about pipeline outcome summary, Dashboard for work item updates, Artifacts used to create host share packages with teams & connect Azure DevOps platform to your organization Microsoft Teams to notify you about any updates.
