Description

We want to present a hot new CI/CD called TeamCity Pipelines, a tool that is developed by a well know software development company JetBrains who are famous for their Intellij IDE, Kotlin programming language and Ktor backend service and so forth. Most CI/CD tools are developed with the intention fo being utilised by large organisations, streamlining the development process for enterprise teams, but this new software aims to simplify the process for smaller teams who may wish for less complexity and more recommendations straight from the start.

Relevance

Larger CI/CD solutions usually require dedicated staff members for maintaining and administering their pipelines, whereas a smaller team would have to handle it all on their own, and thus a simplified solution can save them a great deal of time. For smaller development teams in the sizes of maybe a dozen, more efficient CI/CD solutions are growing in demand. Considering JetBrains prestigious pedigree for developing industry standard softwares as mentioned previously, it is not unlikely that TeamCity Pipelines will make a noteworthy impact on the small team development lifestyle.

@ItsRkaj Thanks for the proposal. Very relevant topic for this week.
I recommend also adding a slide with comparison to similar tools, and any related tradeoffs.

javierron I wanted to check if there’s been any update on whether our presentation will be during the lecture or the lab session. I would greatly prefer to present during the lecture if possible, as I have a mandatory seminar for another course that conflicts with the lab time this week.
