CI/CD Deployment for open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io

The project does not have a CI/CD pipeline currently set up. Below are suggested next steps to implement CI/CD for the project.

Next Steps for CI/CD Setup

Choose a CI/CD Service: Evaluate CI/CD services such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, or Travis CI based on project requirements.

Create a Configuration File: For the selected service, create a configuration file that defines the pipeline.

Example for GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/ci.yml):

name: CI/CD Pipeline

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - name: Checkout code
      uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - name: Install dependencies
      run: |
        npm install

    - name: Run tests
      run: |
        npm test

    - name: Build project
      run: |
        npm run build

    - name: Deploy
      run: |
        echo "Deploying to production..."
        # Add your deploy scripts here e.g., npm run deploy

Integrate with a Deployment Tool: Depending on your infrastructure, integrate tools such as AWS, Azure, or Docker to handle deployments effectively.
Set Up Environment Variables: Ensure sensitive data, such as API keys or database passwords, are stored securely in the CI/CD environment’s settings.
Automate Testing: Incorporate testing as part of the CI/CD pipeline to ensure code quality.

Sample command for testing in JavaScript:
```
npm test
```
Run Link Checker: Utilize the provided Makefile targets to check for broken links as part of the CI process.

Example command:
```
make check-links
```
Document the CI/CD Process: Maintain updated documentation on how the CI/CD setup works, including any commands, scripts, and environments used.

By following these steps, a robust CI/CD pipeline can be established for the OpenTelemetry.io project, streamlining development and deployment processes.
