Programming, 5 Ways to DevOps-ify your App - Github Actions Tutorial

5 Ways to DevOps-ify your App - Github Actions Tutorial

one of the best ways to increase

productivity in a software project is to

automate anything manual or repetitive

and you might be surprised at how easy

automation is to implement when you use

an awesome tool like github actions in

today's video we'll look at five

different techniques that can improve

the quality of your code and make your

life more productive through the magic

of DevOps if you have no idea what terms

like continuous integration and delivery

mean you will by the end of this video

and if you choose to follow along with

your own project we will automate the

hell out of it if you're new here like

and subscribe and grab the full write-up

from fire ship IO before we get started

I'd like to take a second to say thank

you because the channel just surpassed

three hundred thousand subscribers to

celebrate that I have a big giveaway

plan in the next 100 seconds of code

video that everybody can participate in

stay tuned for that in a couple days

pending the apocalypse now to get

started with today's video the only

thing you really need is a github

repository and the service has a very

generous free tier so don't worry about

paying for anything upfront now Before

we jump into these five different DevOps

recipes let's answer the question of

what is github actions consider a repo

on github there are all kinds of

different events that can happen to that

repo someone might start the repo send a

pull request or you might merge code

into the master branch these are

examples of events and any event can

trigger an automated workflow a workflow

can spin up one or more containers for

you in the cloud then you provide a set

of steps or instructions for the

container to do something useful for you

github will log the progress of each

step and make it very clear if something

failed now the really cool thing about

actions is that instead of writing your

own steps from scratch you can use ones

implemented by the community you can

think of each step as a reusable chunk

of code which we call an action on

github you'll find hundreds of reusable

actions that solve common problems with

each one being its own git repo that you

can fork and customize as needed but I

think the best way to get started is to

look at some real-world examples a good

starting place is continuous integration

and if you have no idea what that term

means make sure to check out my 100

seconds of code video on that topic the

whole idea behind continuous integration

or CI is to have developers submit their

code to the main codebase and small

maintainable chunks usually on a daily

basis and those changes should be

automatically tested against the main

codebase let's take a quick tour of the

code inside the package.json you can see

I have a set of scripts here we use just

to run

automated tests and then build to build

the app with webpack the app itself is

just a simple website that tells you

what day of the week it is inside the

source directory we have app KS with a

JavaScript function that implements that

logic and then we have apt SJS to test

that logic

feel free to clone this repo if you want

to use it as an example or better yet

use your own project as a starting point

because these principles apply to any

github repo when you visit your code on

github

you'll notice this actions tab this is

where you can monitor your workflows

when a workflow is triggered it will

give you a log of everything that

happened on the server what we want to

do for continuous integration is have

our test suite run anytime there's a

pull request to the master branch if the

test suite fails or if the code fails to

build we should get a red checkmark here

automatically telling us not to merge

that pull request but if everything goes

according to plan we should get a green

check mark now back in the source code

you can see I have a github directory

followed by workflows and a file called

integrate gamal anything in this

workflows directory will be picked up by

github and automatically set up as a

workflow in the cloud the gamal file is

where we define the workflow we'll give

it a name of node continuous integration

then we need to tell it on which event

or events to run we do that with the on

object and in this case we want to run

it on pull request to the master branch

now every workflow should have one or

more jobs you define them on this jobs

object and then first give the job a

name we'll call this one test pull

request from there we need to tell the

job which VM to run on I'll run this one

on Ubuntu but you also have the choice

of Windows and Mac OS next we need to

give this job a set of steps or

instructions that actually build and

test our code well first want to get our

source code into the virtual machine we

can do that using an officially

maintained action called check out that

brings your source code into the current

working directory and that means you can

run commands like you would from the

command line if working on the project

locally but in our case we also need to

set up nodejs in order to run those

commands so we use the node setup action

and then specify the version and from

there we're ready to start running our

own commands we first need to install

all of our dependencies from NPM and we

can do that using the CI command

that's equivalent to NPM install but it

does a clean install for your CI server

from there we'll run our test command to

test our code and then after that we'll

run our build command to make sure the

bill

compiles properly now it's also worth

noting that if you have a more complex

test suite like end-to-end tests with

Cypress for example there's very likely

an existing action to set up the test

runner for you automatically in the

environment and that's all it takes for

the workflow configuration to start

using it

we just need to commit it to the master

branch I'll run git add git commit and

then get push to push that to the remote

repository now if you go to the actions

tab on github you'll notice that it's

still empty that's because we haven't

had an actual pull request event to

trigger a workflow so let's go ahead and

give our workflow a spin by creating a

pull request I'll go ahead and create a

new branch using git checkout with the

be flag to automatically move into it

inside that branch

I'll make some changes to the source

code that cause the test to fail I'll

then commit those changes and then push

this branch to the remote repo when I go

back to github I'll see the option to

create a pull request which I'll go

ahead and do and you'll notice that it

indicates how we're running checks or a

continuous integration test in the

background if we go to the actions tab

we can see logging for this process

running in real time in this case the

tests on the pull request fail which

means we probably shouldn't integrate

this code into the main code base and as

the developer who submitted this code I

can look at the logs and realize what I

did wrong in this case since I have an

open pull request I can go back into my

code and fix it and then push another

commit to this branch github will

automatically rerun the workflow because

this is an open pull request and this

time around we get green checkmarks so

that takes care of our continuous

integration now it's time to move on to

the next phase continuous deployment at

this point we're confident we have a

valid pull request and when we merge

that code into the master branch we also

want to deploy the app to our customers

so continuous integration is about

merging new code into the code base

while continuous deployment is about

pushing that code out to your customers

to demonstrate this I'm going to

integrate a third-party host

firebase and I'd like to give a shout

out to mark stammer Johan he put

together an awesome guide that will take

you through each one of these steps so

make sure to check that out on fire ship

IO we can easily set up hosting locally

by running firebase init hosting then we

can push our code to our firebase

hosting account using firebase deploy we

can do all this locally because we're

authenticated into our firebase account

on our local system but how do we

authenticate a remote CI server to do

the same thing what we'll need to do is

share a secret token with github we can

obtain that token from fire

by running fire-based login.c I this

will return us with a token string which

you can think of as an API key or user

name/password combination make sure to

keep this value secret go ahead and copy

the value from the command line and then

head over to your github repo go to

settings and secrets and add a new

secret we'll give it a name of firebase

token in all caps and you'll want to

make sure to use that same name then

we'll paste in the token and save it

github will automatically encrypt this

value for us and then we can access it

securely from our CI server in other

words it gives us a way to securely

authenticate with firebase from a github

actions workflow now let's go ahead and

create another gamal file in the

workflows directory this one we'll call

it deploy instead of running this

workflow on a pull request we'll run it

on a push to the master branch so this

workflow will run if we push code

directly to the master branch or if we

merge a pull request into it now the job

itself looks almost identical to the

previous job we check out the code setup

node run our build command but then we

need to deploy it and to do that we're

going to use a third party action called

the firebase action this action takes

care of all the steps required to setup

the firebase CLI on your server it will

run the firebase command and then we

tell it to use the arguments of deploy

only hosting and it's going to be

looking for an environment variable of

firebase token we can access our secret

github value by using dollar sign double

braces followed by Secrets dot firebase

token and that's basically all there is

to it we can start using this continuous

deployment workflow by pushing it to the

master branch now if we go back to

github and merge that pull request from

the previous example you can see from

the login that it automatically builds

and deploys our code to firebase and the

changes should be automatically

reflected on the website itself and now

that we have a basic CI CD pipeline I

want to look at some other cool things

you can do with github actions that you

might not realize personally I maintain

a few open source projects that are

available as libraries through NPM one

of those projects is spelt fire and

anytime there's a major code change on

the master branch we cut a new release

so developers can use that code in their

projects and every time that happens I

also need to go to the command line

login to NPM and push that code to the

NPM registry it's kind of annoying and

easy to forget so let's just automate it

with github actions and this workflow

you'll notice I'm using the release

event that's because not every code

change on the master branch work

is a new release for example if you just

fix a typo in the readme it doesn't

require a whole new release to be pushed

out to NPM in this recipe you'll notice

we have two jobs one for build and one

to publish to NPM and we might want an

additional job to publish to the github

package registry by default all the jobs

will run concurrently in parallel but

that's not actually what we want here

because we want to first build our code

before releasing it to the package

managers we can use the needs keyword to

tell github actions to run this job

after the previous job is finished this

can be a really useful technique because

in our case here it allows us to build

the code once and then push it out to

two different registries without having

to rebuild the code so that's really

useful if you're a library maintainer

but most companies use a lot of other

communication tools beyond github like

slack disk or JIRA Trello and so on and

in most cases these tools maintain

github apps for you to integrate with

their tools directly in github when you

go to the github marketplace you'll

notice that it's separated by apps and

actions actions are reusable pieces of

code you use in your own workflow while

apps are fully pre-built solutions that

don't require you to deploy any code

whatsoever because we use slack for fire

ship IO I'm going to use that as an

example let's imagine that I wanted to

receive a slack notification every time

a new github issue is posted there are a

variety of community maintained actions

that allow me to do this easily in a

workflow in this workflow you can see I

set up a trigger for github issues then

use a slack action along with some

configuration variables to have it post

messages directly in my slack channel

every time there's a new issue on github

that's cool in all but you can also

solve this problem using a github app

and it can be installed on your account

by simply clicking a few buttons the

nice thing about a github app is that it

can be used across multiple repos

simultaneously so when you're automating

with github actions it's a good idea to

ask yourself if you want a fully

installed app or if you want to build

your own workflow with actions I may do

a whole separate video on apps because

there's a lot of cool things you can do

like automatically analyze code quality

automatically update your dependencies

automatically optimize all your images

and automatically do a whole bunch of

other cool stuff but now let's shift

gears into the final recipe which is a

github action that runs on a specific

schedule this one happens to be a

special treat for firebase users because

it solves a common problem how do I

export my firestore data on a regular

basis currently if the database doesn't

provide automatic backups so you need to

man

export your data in order to reimagine

this recipe we use the on schedule event

and pass it a cron schedule if you don't

understand how this cron syntax works

don't worry

not many people do but there's an

awesome app called crontab guru that can

automatically generate schedules for you

the schedule in this example runs every

night at midnight and then in the action

itself we're using an action maintained

by a Google cloud platform this action

sets up the G cloud CLI in the

environment and then we can use it to

run a couple commands to export our

firestore data into a storage bucket and

that process is now fully automated so

we should hopefully never have to worry

about it again and check the links in

the description for a full write-up on

how to set up the service account and

everything else involved with G cloud

I'm gonna go ahead and wrap things up

there hopefully this video helped you

get started with automation in your own

project and let me know what kind of

things are using github actions for in

the comments stay tuned for the giveaway

messages directly in my slack channel

every time there's a new issue on github

that's cool in all but you can also

solve this problem using a github app

and it can be installed on your account

by simply clicking a few buttons the

nice thing about a github app is that it

can be used across multiple repos |||||repositorios

simultaneously so when you're automating في الوقت نفسه||||

with github actions it's a good idea to

ask yourself if you want a fully

installed app or if you want to build

your own workflow with actions I may do

a whole separate video on apps because

there's a lot of cool things you can do

like automatically analyze code quality

automatically update your dependencies

automatically optimize all your images |تحسين|||

and automatically do a whole bunch of

other cool stuff but now let's shift

gears into the final recipe which is a المكونات|||||||

github action that runs on a specific

schedule this one happens to be a

special treat for firebase users because

it solves a common problem how do I

export my firestore data on a regular ||exportar mis datos||||

basis currently if the database doesn't

provide automatic backups so you need to ||copias de seguridad||||

man

export your data in order to reimagine ||||||إعادة تصور ||||||reimaginar

this recipe we use the on schedule event

and pass it a cron schedule if you don't ||||جدول زمني|||| ||||programador de tareas||||

understand how this cron syntax works |||scheduled task manager||

don't worry

not many people do but there's an

awesome app called crontab guru that can |||كرونتاب|المعلمة|| |||crontab|||

automatically generate schedules for you |إنشاء|جداول||

the schedule in this example runs every

night at midnight and then in the action ||منتصف الليل|||||

itself we're using an action maintained

by a Google cloud platform this action

sets up the G cloud CLI in the

environment and then we can use it to

run a couple commands to export our

firestore data into a storage bucket and |||||دلو التخزين|

that process is now fully automated so

we should hopefully never have to worry

about it again and check the links in

the description for a full write-up on

how to set up the service account and

everything else involved with G cloud

I'm gonna go ahead and wrap things up |||||concluir||

there hopefully this video helped you

get started with automation in your own

project and let me know what kind of

things are using github actions for in

the comments stay tuned for the giveaway |التعليقات||||| los||||||

video in a few days thanks for watching

and I will see you in the next one
