Node.js meets Jenkins, Gradle and Chef!

Abstract:

Have you ever had to automate a Node.js application deployment? One way of doing so would be to use Node.js hosting providers, but what if you decide to host your applications in-house? As it turns out, automating a Node.js operation is not as easy as it sounds (you can trust me on that) and here at Trademob, we tried several approaches before settling on a combination of tools. This presentation is targeted at Node.js developers and Dev Ops engineers. I'm going to show what we tried, what worked and what did not work. I'll then present a setup based on Jenkins, Gradle and Chef that we now successfully use for testing, deployment and monitoring of Node.js applications. You'll learn from our mistakes and see how we made it all work in the end. Most importantly, you'll be able to do the same as us - since all tools and plugins required are free and open-sourced.

Come to this session and make your Node.js automation a breeze!
