Continuous Deployment with Buildkite

[karllhughes]

Just to clarify, would this be an article about how to use Buildkite to deploy to Fly? Or how to run Buildkite on Fly?

My initial thought was the first one, but I wanted to check before I sent an outline over. Thanks!

How to deploy to Fly with Buildkite. Someday we'll want the latter. :)

Perfect, that's what I thought. 😁

Here's an outline:

• Introduction
  • What is CD? Why it's important? (Just briefly)
  • What is Buildkite? Why use it for CI/CD?
  • Why host on the edge? Why Fly? (Again, briefly but I think it's important to give context)
• How to Deploy to Fly using Buildkite
  • Installing Buildkite - Will just reference their installation instructions as this varies depending on the user's hosting provider: https://buildkite.com/docs/agent/v3/installation
  • A simple app to deploy to Fly: https://fly.io/docs/hands-on/create-app/
  • Introduction to Pipelines: https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines
  • Setting up a Pipeline, steps, yaml file, etc: https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/defining-steps
  • Testing that it works: make a change, re-deploy it, see the change
• Conclusion
