Elevator Pitch
Learn how to use Kotlin DSL for configuring the builds in TeamCity. What are the best practices, tips & tricks, and pitfalls? In this session, we are going to assemble a build pipeline using Kotlin DSL and learn about some TeamCity features alongside.
Description
Configuration-as-code is a well-established practice for continuous integration. Today, YAML is probably the most widespread format for the configuration-as-code approach. What if I told you that we can do better than that? In TeamCity, we use Kotlin to configure the builds. A dedicated Kotlin DSL was crafted in TeamCity some time ago and has proven to be a pretty viable solution for the job.
In this session you will learn the following:
- How to get started with Kotlin DSL
- How to assemble build chains in code
- How to extend the existing DSL and make your own abstractions
Expect a lot of live coding!
