Chat bots are everywhere. Suddenly our messaging services are inundated with small automated systems inhabiting spaces in the domain of human-to-human communication. We can now have conversations with bots that help us buy products, book travel, make meetings, solve customer service issues, and much more. Here in Berlin, there are now two meetups dedicated to bots, and they piqued my ...

In one of my current project, I deal with how to run a Continuous Integration (CI) infrastructure on Windows machines. I have had experience in running a CI infrastructure for five years, but it was always on Linux machines. So in the next months I will write some blog posts about my challenge with Windows machines from the perspective of ...

Recently I wanted to update a few jobs (not defined with a DSL) in Cloudbees, adding to each of them a few properties. Well, I had some trouble making it work, here are my notes (I used Jenkins 1.651.2.1 but chances are it should work with older and more recent versions, such as jenkins 2) No security  / no auth ...

This article tries to provide one possible way to set up the Continuous Integration, Delivery or Deployment pipeline. We’ll use Jenkins, Docker, Ansible and Vagrant to set up two servers. One will be used as a Jenkins server and the other one as an imitation of production servers. First one will checkout, test and build applications while perform deployment and ...

“Continuous Integration is a hack!” said my friend Ben Rady years ago during a discussion on CI hosted by Stelligent. At the time, I was incredulous! How dare someone question the value of CI, especially when we had just finished writing a book about it! What’s more, our book had been nominated for a prestigious Jolt award; indeed, the following ...

Every project I’m working with starts with a setup of continuous integration pipeline. I’m a big fan of cloud services, that’s why I was always using travis-ci.org. A few of my clients questioned this choice recently, mostly because of the price. So I decided to make a brief analysis of the market. I configured rultor, an open source project, in ...
