We need to use build tools locally when we are developing applications in order to test and run locally.

How build tool manages development and management dependencies? You can configure all these build tools like their build target directory, which files to include etc. Similarities Between Maven and Gradle and other tools.Īll are command line tools which have the options to run the code, test the code, build the code/zip, and publish to artifact repository.

Later in the blog we will see how docker helps us to use a single repository for artifacts.Artifact repository - nexus, jfrog for java-based application artifact.Build tools have commands for publishing to artifact repository and then you van download from anywhere on server using wget or curl.It keeps artifact storage and makes it convenient to deploy it multiple times, have backup etc.Artifact repository is place where artifacts are stored.Strictly Speaking of maven and Gradle based artifacts includes the application code + dependencies too but in the case of nodejs-based application tools package management tools not build tools ( will be discussed later) only contains the application code, not dependencies.Artifacts generated from maven or gradle are JAR or WAR file.For java based applications the popular ones are maven, gradle.The process of packaging multiple files into one ( compressed form) is called building the code, tools which help us to build code are called build tools.This single package file is called an artifact.To deploy the file, it is packed into a single movable file also called a package.Usually, any application will also have dependencies too, so how to move code from the local machine to the production server with dependencies? (Entire application ( main code + dependencies) will be big in size).When you developed an application, (for our understanding,lets stick our discussion to java based application) it needs to be deployed on the production server so that people can consume/use it.(Don't worry if you don't know I will post relevant links to brush up wherever needed :D)

I did mention earlier that it is a beginner-friendly blog, but there are a few tools which are needed to follow along. This Bootcamp can really help you to learn those skills needed for DevOps engineers. The idea for this blog comes from the Bootcamp I am currently undergoing to understand and acquire the niche skills of a DevOps Engineer by Nana Janashia.
