Phases

Current status of Strider CD

• environment
• prepare
• test
• deploy
• cleanup

Comparison to other services

these are the configurable commands:

CircleCI:

• pre-dependency commands
  • install and setup unusual services, such as specific DNS provisions, connections to a private services, etc.
• dependency overrides
• post-dependency commands
• test commands
• post-test commands (which are really just "extra test commands")

TravisCI:

• before_install
• before_script
• script
• after_success/failure
• after_script

Jenkins

• build
• post build

Thoughts about the full flow

Strider's unique plugin architecture makes the specific needs different, but there may be some things that can be adopted.

Proposed phases

• environment setup
• git clone or pull
• dependencies
• test
• [after_success / failure?]
• deploy

Changes

• prepare is essentially renamed dependencies
• adding an environment setup phase provides an obvious breakpoint for docker images.

Questions

• would it be useful to add after_success/failure?
