About Continuous Delivery Code

Definition

Continuous Delivery Code (short: CDC) allows developers without read access to CDA to set up a new application model and its related workflows from the IDE of their choice to fully deploy an application.

CDC keeps the configuration of a deployment workflow together with the actual code being built/tested/deployed. This allows users to apply their existing CI/CD best practices to the deployment configurations, enables configuration versioning and provides diff capabilities.

Usage

Designers and developers can work with CDA and CDC to:

• Set up a working application and test the deployment using the standard CDA method (UI-based).

• Separate configuration-specific parameters of a particular application into dynamic properties so that the same configuration (template) can be used to deploy another application by overriding the values of the dynamic properties. For example: database connection strings, ports, hostnames, passwords, specific file names, directories, etc.

• Create a set of script files that describe the application, its components and associated objects (except for the component workflow definitions).

• Export component workflow definitions in JSON format.

• Implement as-code templates for another application by editing the script files in the development environment of your choice.
