GitHub Actions: Cloudy with a Chance of CI/CD - by Serafim Karparov

Описание: GitHub Actions has become one of the most popular choices for automating software workflows directly in your repository. In this session, Sefo demonstrates the power of GitHub Actions for building robust and scalable CI/CD pipelines. You will learn the fundamentals - workflows, jobs, and steps - and how to extend them with custom or community-contributed actions. We dive into secure secrets management, job matrices, caching, conditional execution, and environment-based deployments. Finally, you’ll walk away with best practices for pipeline design, including testing strategies, deployment models, monitoring techniques, and actionable insights to automate smarter.
