BldIt - Continuous Integration System

BldIt is a continuous integration system that allows developers to automate test cases, builds, code merging, and process execution. This project started as a hobby with the intention to combine the Software Development and DevOps industries into 1 project. As time passed, this project became my senior project for my last semester in university. And in the future, this can become an actual ci-cd system for people and companies to use to automate their development processes.

This system is made with a microservice architecture using the following technologies:

C# with ASP.NET (.NET 6)
GitHub Actions & Azure DevOps for continuous integration/delivery
MongoDB for data storage
RabbitMQ as a message broker for microservices
SignalR for real-time log monitoring
Docker/Docker-Compose for microservice containers
Azure Pipelines to deploy to custom Nuget Artifact storage service
JFrog to store custom nuget packages & BldIt libraries
xUnit for Unit/Integration testing of REST API
Postman to test the microservices
ANTLR for pipeline language

BldIt CI-CD Pipeline Domain Specific Language

BldIt DSL was moved to its own GitHub repository: https://github.com/Ragdety/BldIt.Language

Steps to run the application (Windows)

.NET 6

Make sure you have .NET 6 installed first: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0

Authorization

You will need to ask for permission to be added to the JFrog artifactory in order to build the project with BldIt custom libraries. (You can raise an issue for this). I will only need your email and I will take care of giving you the auth details for your account. I will give you the following information for the nuget artifactory: url, username, password.

Warning: While I find a way to securely automate getting the credentials, new people will have to ask and I will manually add them to the artifactory and give it to them. Remember, this is just a senior project. The code and scripts are not production ready yet.

NuGet Config

Once I give you the credentials and url, you will need to run the following script:

AddBldItNugetSource.bat asks for the credentials and adds them to the default NuGet.Config file. If your NuGet.Config is located in a different folder, modify the configFile variable in the script accordingly:

set configFile=your/path/here/NuGet.Config

Running with Docker

You must install Docker & Docker compose first (I recommend Docker Desktop: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/)

infra.yml has the infrastructure configuration (MongoDB & RabbitMQ instances).
app.yml has the microservices configuration.

The scripts for windows are located under the docker folder: src/ci-cd/scripts/docker (Linux scripts - WIP)

Running the infrastructure

./infra-run.bat

Building the microservice containers

./app-build.bat

Running the microservice containers

./app-run.bat

App logs

./app-logs.bat
