CICD for Mobile App Development Using Capacitor JS on Azure DevOps

In the world of iOS mobile app development, implementing a robust CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) pipeline is essential to ensure efficient and reliable software delivery. Capacitor JS is a powerful framework that allows developers to build cross-platform mobile apps using web technologies. When combined with Azure DevOps, it enables a seamless CI/CD pipeline for iOS app development. In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of setting up a CI/CD pipeline for iOS mobile apps using Capacitor JS and Azure DevOps.

A Note on Capacitor JS

Capacitor is a free and open source (MIT-licensed) platform that enables web developers to build cross-platform apps with standard web technology that runs in modern browsers. Capacitor takes your existing web application and runs it as a native app on each platform, providing hooks into the native platform via JavaScript. These hooks can be built directly into the app, or as standalone plugins to be reused and distributed to others.

Can I reuse existing web code and share new code with a web app?
Yes! One of the strengths of Capacitor is that it runs normal web apps natively. In many cases, teams have a single codebase for web and mobile using Capacitor.

Prerequisite –

1. An azure devops account.
2. Working Web app code
3. App center account for distribution

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS): Solutions for Seamless Cloud Transition

Introduction

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) streamlines the process of moving your databases with speed and security.This service enables you to create, analyze, transform, and migrate your databases and analytics platforms from a single interface, helping you save time, resources, and money.Note that application downtime during migration is kept to a minimum depending on the source database. Database Migration Service (DMS) supports migrations involving most of the popular commercial and open- source databases.

In this blog, we will explore the AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) in detail. This managed service enables you to seamlessly and securely migrate your on-premises databases to the cloud.

AWS Site-to-Site VPN Connection

When I was working on our client there was a task in which we had to migrate the application from azure cloud to AWS. Migrating the application was a later thing, first, we needed to create a secure connection between the two clouds so that we could migrate securely and encrypted, so for this, we thought of a Site-to-SiteVPN connection.
Through this blog, I will guide you on how we connect azure cloud to AWS cloud by AWS site-to-site VPN connection.

Why we used a Site-to-Site VPN connection?

AWS site-to-site VPN is a service offered by Amazon so that we can securely connect to our cloud. It creates a secure and encrypted connection between our Azure infrastructure and AWS infrastructure. AWS site-to-site VPN supports internet protocol security which gives secure and private communication between our on premises network and VPC.

Features of Site-to-Site VPN Connection

Secure and Encrypted communication:- It establishes a secure and encrypted connection between our clouds. This also ensures that data transmitted between the two networks is protected from unauthorized access.

Jenkins Job Creation using Multibranch Job DSL

Introduction

In this blog, we will explore the world of Jenkins job DSL and learn how to leverage its capabilities to streamline and automate job configuration management. We will walk through the process of setting up the Job DSL environment, writing Job DSL scripts to define different types of jobs, managing job configurations as code, and integrating Job DSL with your CI/CD pipelines.

Basic Logging Setup of Loki Grafana

Let’s say you are the DevOps lead for a large e-commerce platform that runs on a microservices architecture with hundreds of services. You need to monitor the logs of all these services to quickly identify issues, troubleshoot problems, and optimize the system’s performance. You also want to be able to search and analyze logs across all services in real time and be alerted when any critical issues arise.

To address this scenario, you could use Grafana Loki as your centralized logging system. Loki is a lightweight and cost-effective solution that can handle high volumes of logs and store them in a distributed manner. You can configure each service to send logs to Loki, which will automatically index them and make them available for search and analysis.

Introduction

Loki and Grafana are two open-source projects that are commonly used together for log aggregation, analysis, and visualization.

Loki is a horizontally-scalable, highly-available, multi-tenant log aggregation system inspired by Prometheus. It is designed to be a cost-effective solution for storing and querying logs and uses a unique indexing approach to provide fast and efficient searching of log data. Loki is also highly extensible, allowing users to easily add custom logging drivers and integrate with other systems.

Grafana, on the other hand, is a popular open-source platform for visualizing and analyzing time-series data, including logs. It provides a powerful and flexible dashboarding system that allows users to create customized visualizations and alerts based on their log data. Grafana also integrates with many different data sources, including Loki, which makes it a great choice for log analysis and visualization.
