SESSION

Building Software Factories with GitLab and Gradle

In this lightning talk we will briefly look at the differences between software factories and software logistics and how they map to the overall software supply chain. We will demonstrate how you can use GitLab CI Steps to decompose your Gradle builds to ensure you are collecting the right data about the build before it becomes a package. We will show you how to leverage SemVer to create a production level package across different branching strategies, getting it ready for a deployment to production.

Take it further with Develocity

Lee describes how not only his customers, but also his colleagues, need to be able to leverage faster feedback cycles for builds and tests. The GitLab solution? A “software factory”, which leverages proven best practices from various industries—like automation, testing, security and more—and applies it to the build process. Develocity is the key to getting there—with fine-grained observability, acceleration technologies, and rapid troubleshooting, all in one place.
