A demo CI/CD pipeline with Semaphore and Zeit Now

Semaphore demo CI/CD pipeline with Zeit Now

Example how to build an API serverless function and deploy it to Zeit Now using Semaphore.

CI/CD on Semaphore

1. Fork this repository and use it to create a project.

2. Go to your Now dashboard, and add a token. You should see a slightly hidden field in the middle of the page that says "Create a new token by entering its name..." I'd recommend calling it something obvious like zeit-now-semaphoreci-yourproject.

3. Take the token, and create an Secret and add an Environment Variable in your project's configuration in SemaphoreCI. This sample repo calls the Secret now and Environment Variable ZEIT_TOKEN, so I'd suggest doing the same - if you change it, be aware that you'll need to change references to this token name in the sample files.

The CI pipeline will look like this:

The example pipeline contains 3 blocks:

• Install dependencies
  • installs and caches all npm dependencies
• Run tests
  • Runs Tests using Jest framework (https://jestjs.io/)
• Deploy
  • Deploys the server using Zeist Now (https://zeit.co/now)
