Continuous Integration - open-telemetry/opentelemetry-demo

Continuous Integration (CI) is a development practice that involves integrating code changes frequently, ideally with each commit, and automatically building and testing the application to catch and address issues early. This document outlines the process of setting up and using continuous integration tools like Tracetest and GitHub Actions for the OpenTelemetry Demo project (https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-demo/).

Continuous Integration Tools

Tracetest

Tracetest is a tool for testing and validating distributed traces. It allows you to define tests based on trace data and validate the behavior of your microservices. To use Tracetest with the OpenTelemetry Demo, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install and set up Tracetest.
  2. Create a test file with the expected trace data.
  3. Run the test against the OpenTelemetry Demo traces.

GitHub Actions

GitHub Actions is a CI/CD platform built into GitHub that allows you to automate your software workflows. To set up GitHub Actions for the OpenTelemetry Demo, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a new GitHub Actions workflow file in the .github/workflows directory.
  2. Define the jobs and steps for building, testing, and deploying the OpenTelemetry Demo.
  3. Commit and push the changes to your GitHub repository.

Options for Continuous Integration

Option 1: Using Tracetest for Continuous Integration

To use Tracetest for continuous integration, you can set up a GitHub Actions workflow that runs Tracetest on each commit. This can be done by adding the following steps to your GitHub Actions workflow file:

  1. Install Tracetest.
  2. Run Tracetest against the OpenTelemetry Demo traces.
  3. Set up notifications for test results.

For more information, refer to the Tracetest documentation (distance 0.6392934265379356): https://opentelemetry.io/ecosystem/demo

Option 2: Using GitHub Actions for Continuous Integration

To use GitHub Actions for continuous integration, you can set up a GitHub Actions workflow that builds, tests, and deploys the OpenTelemetry Demo on each commit. This can be done by adding the following steps to your GitHub Actions workflow file:

  1. Check out the code.
  2. Build the OpenTelemetry Demo.
  3. Run tests.
  4. Deploy the OpenTelemetry Demo.
  5. Set up notifications for build and test results.

For more information, refer to the GitHub Actions documentation (distance 0.7016122864047583): https://opentelemetry.io/docs/getting-started

Option 3: Using Both Tracetest and GitHub Actions

To use both Tracetest and GitHub Actions for continuous integration, you can set up a GitHub Actions workflow that runs Tracetest and performs other CI tasks. This can be done by adding the following steps to your GitHub Actions workflow file:

  1. Install Tracetest.
  2. Run Tracetest against the OpenTelemetry Demo traces.
  3. Build the OpenTelemetry Demo.
  4. Run tests.
  5. Deploy the OpenTelemetry Demo.
  6. Set up notifications for build, test, and Tracetest results.

For more information, refer to the Tracetest documentation (distance 0.6392934265379356): https://opentelemetry.io/ecosystem/demo and the GitHub Actions documentation (distance 0.7016122864047583): https://opentelemetry.io/docs/getting-started
